Elf on the Shelf...

Santa sent an elf to look after Adam this holiday season.  Upon reading the book that accompanied the elf we learned that the first thing we needed to do was to name our elf.  Adam decided on "Al."  We learned that "Al" would spend the day keeping an eye on Adam and would fly to the North Pole every evening to report to Santa.  He'll then make his way back before Adam wakes up but will always be in a different spot, making a bit of a game out of searching for him every morning.

Adam was pretty excited to meet "Al" and to read about him. He wasn't real thrilled with the rule that you aren't allowed to touch "Al," but he's been very good about obeying it.  Adam read that "Al" will share gift wishes with Santa, so he's been sure to have a few conversations with him about that. 

We've enjoyed having "Al" around and look forward to finding where he's landed every morning!

Thanks Santa!
