Elf on a Shelf


This little fellow turned up very mysteriously one day.  But it wasn't him we noticed first.  It was a present wrapped neatly and placed under the Christmas tree.  A present addressed to "2 sweet girls" but which no one recognized.  Once opened, we saw it was this little Elf's story.  But now, the challenge arose to find the little guy. 
After some serious searching, we found him sitting atop our giant wall clock in the living room.  He was so cute, but the rules in the book say "you must not touch him or he will lose all his magic to fly back to Santa".  And if Santa doesn't hear from his little helper elf, well you know what happens then and it is not pretty!
So, like we were instructed to do, we first named our elf.... Kolbie.  The girls then proceeded to make him comfortable in our home, elf style!  Each day he moved to a new spot and it was fun to search for him and wonder how on earth he got where he was!
Christmas is coming!
