We started the day off with finding a note that Miss Elfie painted us reminding us to always make good choices. Sadly my picture turned out really blurry to show it off. 

Then Lucy L shared her big sister's loose tooth case with us. Her Elf on the Shelf even left her a note. I love getting daily led reports from their homes!
