Freddy and Sally

When we bought the Elf on the Shelf, I had no idea that the story says you can't touch him or he'll lose his magic. Sort of traumatizing when you read it before bedtime after hanging out with your new elf all evening. Fortunately his "magic" was affected.

So I created some silly little elves the boy's can love and cuddle all they want. They've named them Freddy and Sally and it was love at first sight.
