Santa sent us an elf of our very own this year! I first heard of this tradition 3 years ago when one of my first graders wrote a story about her elf, Steve. I was actually pregnant with Lydia at the time, so we waited a few years. The package was waiting when Lydia and Joey got home from running an errand.
Then Joey read the book to the girls.
And we named her Noel.
(That's the first Christmasy name to pop in my head. Lydia loved and Joey said it is the French word for Christmas. Perfect!)
She's been appearing in a lot of locations around the house.
And she even showed up in Lydia's classroom to spy on her there!
Santa even sent an elf to my classroom. They named him Mr. Shivers.
hehe tried posting from my phone but it didn't take, I was going to say I love the Elf on the Shelf! I think Connor is a little young this year but definitely next year. Love all the pics and the names for the Elves. Very cool fun! :) love you!
ReplyDeleteYes, Connor definitely needs an elf for next year!
DeleteHolly should've been the first Christmasy name to pop into your head. ;) But, yes, Noel is perfect! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. :)
