Elf on the Shelf

Last night during dinner, we heard a slight knock at the door. We sent Karsyn to answer it, sure that it would be her little friend from across the street. Well it was a little friend, but one we had not met before. This cute little guy greeted us with a friendly smile and a new tradition.



We all wondered who on earth could have left him? Emmrey was certain it must have been the big guy himself.......hmmm I think she is right on;) We took him in and warmed him up. He brought with him a book that told us all we needed to know. He is in fact a very special elf who was sent from the North Pole to keep an eye on things;) Every night when we go to bed, he returns to Santa to give him a report on whether we have been good or bad and then in the morning we get to find him again. Our book specifically told us not to touch him or it rubs off his magic, so Emmrey has been really worried about that. It is so funny to see her first thing when she wakes up....searching all over the house.


It was very important that we named our little elf. Of course the girls all wanted a different name, so we let them choose 2 names and we put them in a bowl and drew one out. The nominations were.....Buddy & Leanarno for Emm, Eduardo & Clyde? for Kars and Puck & Rodney for Bailee. And the winner is...........PUCK!! That's right....wouldn't you know it:) Mark is certainly having a good time with it....

Our new little friend is growing on us and we look forward to many adventures with him!!
