Elf on the Shelf


This year was a special year because our elf made her first appearance. I decided we should do something special to welcome her so Harper and I got a few things together for her. We decorated her a gingerbread cookie with the family and made some smores and watched a veggie-tales Christmas movie. Then we laid down and listened to daddy read the Elf on the Shelf book and named our new Elf. I will never forget that night because Brad and I laughed so hard  . Every time we tried to get Harper to name the elf she kept saying " Elf on the Shelf" ! We tried every name you could imagine , from Midnight to Snowflake and nope " Elf on the Shelf" she would whisper. So finally we agreed on Elfie! Not the most creative but it works. So here are some pictures from our welcome Elfie party and a few fun pictures of how Elfie came to visit us this year!
