Oh Snap

Since Christmas has been over, Hannah has been missing her beloved Elf of the Shelf, Snap. A few weeks ago she brought me a piece of paper and asked me to write. I assumed we were writing a letter to Madeline, as we frequently do. Oh no, she dictated a letter to Snap. We discussed how to get it to him and decided putting in the mailbox might not work as he's probably on vacation right now and not currently at the North Pole. We saved the letter and thought about it. The next day Hannah came to me very excited. She had figured it out! She wanted to attach the letter to a balloon and let it float away and find Snap. Great idea! Nana happened to be at the grocery store a few days later and they were giving away Super Bowl helium balloons. She got Hannah 2 and we got them a few days letter. Last weekend, she attached the letter and let it go. She watched it float away for a while, and is now eagerly awaiting a response. She is aware that it might take a while, as the balloons had to find him wherever he may be. I have a feeling a letter from Snap may be arriving today. She will be a happy, happy girl!
