What Do You Tell Your Kids??

So what exactly do you tell your kids when they question whether Santa is real?
Taylor has asked me before if Santa is real or if I believe in him which I of course reply that I do and she pretty much leaves it at that. And thankfully she hasn't inquired any further because to be honest I don't know what I would say. The best answer that I can think of is to tell her is that if you don't believe in Santa then no more presents from Santa come...other than that I am at a loss! 
We have already established with her that the "Santas" at the malls isn't the real Santa because she knows that he can't be at every mall at the same time. I explained to her that they are Santa's friends that help him out so he can stay at the North Pole longer and finish all the toys. She of course replied that she knew all along that "Santa" at the mall by our house wasn't the real one because while he was out "feeding his reindeer" she saw him go into the bathroom area and a few minutes later come out in real clothes!!! Kids don't miss a thing!
So this year we have decided to do Elf on a Shelf with the kids in hopes that Taylor can hold onto the innocence of Santa for at least another year. Last year was just too hectic to do it with my hubby deployed and Olivia was only a newborn. I have already been given lots of good ideas for our Elf and found some funny ones on Pinterest too. Have you all done Elf on the Shelf with your kids and if so what are some of your favorite places you have found your elf at?

  1. I can't wait to do an elf on the shelf, hopefully next year. I kinda think that this year, V is still too young to get it, plus hubs is deployed and I don't want to do it without him.

  2. I know how that is with the hubby deployed...we went through that last year! Olivia is too young this year but hopefully next year she will have fun Taylor.

    PS
    I FINALLY mailed off the makeup to you! Moving and vacation all in a month makes everything crazy!
