It took all of about 30 seconds for Aiden to track him down once he realized that he was out hiding. He went crazy, his eyes grew large and I honestly thought he was going to explode with excitement. I thought to myself "Alright, at least they are happy about the Elf and this will be okay to hide it everyday until Christmas". Well, Aiden and Addy turned up the Elf duties a notch.
They were down there working away and since they were not fighting we just let it be. To my surprise they had a conversation with the Elf in which he told them everything we told the kids about the Elf such as having magic powers to get out of the box to hide, watching every movement, etc. Aiden and Addy felt the need to go ahead and feed him to make sure he was not hungry from all of his flying. Note to Self: Don't forget to eat and remove the food at night!

Finally, I had to come up with a new spot. I went obvious and just moved him around the corner to their little kitchen play set. As I write this I had to stop because they came down and Aiden just about wet his pants that Spike Elfy Elf read the book, did the writing, and ate his food. If only we had an Elf year round.
