Finding the Elf

Benjamin showed up in a few other places before Christmas.  Mia understood that he would be reporting on her behavior back to Santa.  Reminding her of that fact was actually effective in curbing some less than stellar behavior on certain days.  She was a good girl this year, though, so thankfully Benjamin gave Santa a good report.  Benjamin even showed up in Heavener at Mimi and Pa Pa's house.  Mia was excited to see him there.  She was sad to see him go, but we told her that he'll be back next year!
