This year we continued with our new tradition elf on the shelf. Last year (2010) we started it in the middle of December. This year we were able to do the full month. The story is the elf comes to the child right around the holidays and watches the kid and then reports to the North Pole to Santa when the kids are sleeping tight. In the morning before they wake up they fly back and have taken on a new hiding spot. The main rule is no touching the elf or he or she will loss their power to fly back to Santa. It has a cute little story that goes along with it. We knew he was going to be coming soon so we read the book. He showed up the morning after Thanksgiving. On Christmas Eve when the elf hears Santa's bells on the sleigh he leave with him and will come back next year. On Christmas Eve we all got to hold, hug, and kiss the Elfy goodbye. Connor loved being able to actually get to touch him. We named our Elf, Elfy and this is just a couple pictures showing what kind of trouble he got into. Sometimes was a well behaved elf.
The Note says that he hopes Connor likes what he did with the bathroom. He put up a snowman shower curtain and rug.
The note says for him to go look in the mirror, as you can see the elf is holding a paint brush with red paint on it. He painted a Rudolph nose on Connor while he slept!
Saying our Goodbyes…
