November is over and it is time to meet our elf. Last year Liam wasn't really interested and didn't really understand the whole elf thing. I knew this year would be different and more exciting for him. We tried to stay on top of it but Ryan and I just weren't very good at it. We started on December 1st. I wrapped up the elf in its box and wrote a letter from Santa about who the elf is and what the elf does. I also had found a chocolate calendar that I used to do when I was a little kid and I knew Liam would love it too! Here he is finding his package at the front door!
He was so excited and couldn't wait to open it!
Liam is only 3 and so when I asked him what he wanted to name him his simple little mind immediately said "Elfie the Elf." I talked him into "Elvis." So Elvis it is!
The first night in the Barker house we found "Elvis" hanging from the ceiling fan in Liam's superhero room dressed as Spiderman.
We didn't do something silly every night. There were nights where we just moved him. Actually, there were lots of night that we just moved him. We forgot about Elvis a lot!
Here is Elvis and Jake sailing on Bucky!
One morning we found him hanging out in Liams' stocking!
We didn't do a very good job this year with this. We were very forgetful and so was Liam. We were always asking him if he had seen Elvis that morning. Oh well, next year will be different I am sure!
Here is our adventure with our elf last year, here
