The St. Bernard's arrived yesterday and my kids were so excited when they realized there was a new Elf Pet!  My 6 year old son kept saying "BEST DAY EVER!!"  They are quality toys and the story book is another great one!  The only downside is that my son keeps saying that "Next year, if there is another pet, then they will have three to carry around!  And the next year, there will be four, and the next year five!"  To which my daughter replies, "I hope it's a cat!"
