Meet Shelf

Like I mentioned on my previous post, I explained to Nolan that Santa would be sending an elf once our Christmas tree was decorated.  The elf will watch over him and Carter to make sure they are being good boys.  The elf would go visit Santa every night at the North Pole to let Santa know how he and Carter behave during the day.

The elf arrived Sunday morning with two gifts from Santa for Nolan and Carter, a letter from Santa, and a book.  The elf came down the chimney with all of his goodies.

Nolan was excited to open his gift and read the book the elf brought him.  Carter and Nolan each received a shirt from Santa saying "Santa's Little Helper".  I read the book to the boys and then Nolan read the book to us again.  A very important task regarding the elf is naming him.  Nolan wouldn't say a name, he just kept calling him the elf on the shelf.  Finally after asking and asking, Nolan said the elf's name is "Shelf."  How original.  So there you have it, our elf's name is Shelf!  Let the adventures begin.
