Elf on the Shelf

I know this concept is not new to a lot of people, but today we got our Elf on the Shelf kit in the mail. I didn't know this was something you could order, but I stumbled upon it the other day online. I think the boys will have a great time with it.

The package came Fed Ex today (so it's a big deal when they ring the doorbell and everything) and had lots of different stamps on it saying things like, "from the North Pole" and different country stamps. Here are the boys with their package from Santa. We opened up the package and this is what was inside... our own Elf on a Shelf and a storybook that accompanies it. The book talks about how Santa sends us an elf to watch us during the day and then report back to him at night (on who is naughty or nice). At night he flies back to the North Pole, and in the morning, he returns to your house in a different location. So every morning he is sitting somewhere new. There are a few rules- kids cannot touch the elf and the elf cannot talk to the kids. This so far has not stopped Griffin from talking to the elf anyway:)

Right now we have our elf on our fireplace mantel. Griffin has already informed me that he is going to find the elf tomorrow and wake me up to let me know where he is sitting. Great:) We are supposed to name our elf, anyone got any good ideas for names?
