Elf on the Shelf joined our family 2 days ago. His name is Dash. And Ryland is so enthralled with him. At first we did not know how he would react ... if he would even care about him or get upset because we would not let him carry Dash around. But he really seems to get it ... at least the part about having to find where in the house Dash landed each morning and how he cannot touch or play with him. We have been reading him the "Elf on the Shelf" book each day and throughout the entire story Ryland points out every picture of Dash and reminds us that he is downstairs.
Here is Dash's portrait ... Look at those blue eyes ... Just like Ryland's bright blue eyes!
His first "landing" was on the shelf in the foyer ...
And currently he is hanging upside down in the garland on our mantle.
This is going to be such a fun month leading up to Christmas! We cannot wait to share in all of the excitement and joy with Ryland! Our Christmas tree is up but not fully decorated yet. We definitely wanted to maximize the amount of time that we get to enjoy all of the holiday spirit in our house ... the Christmas boxes came out the morning after Thanksgiving! More to come soon about all of our holiday celebrations.
