Rudy watching from our dining table centerpieceINTRODUCING..."RUDY!" (short for Rudolph, of course!) Our very own Elf on the Shelf has come to visit our home for the Christmas holiday. He arrived on the Sunday after Thanksgiving! Caroline was SO EXCITED to meet him.
First, we read his book and found out that we needed to give him a name. The first name that she picked was Rudolph, of course! Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer is her favorite this Christmas, so everything is about Rudolph! So, since Rudolph is a reindeer, we decided to go with "Rudy" for short...get it...short, like an elf! ;)
Each day Caroline wakes up asking to go find HER elf, Rudy! See, each night while Caroline is sleeping, Rudy flies back to the North Pole to visit Santa and give him a report on whether Caroline was naughty or nice that day! When Rudy arrives back at our house the next morning he appears in a new place in the house.
I'm not sure if she understands the concept of reporting to Santa, because we've had a few occasions where she has been a little naughty! I remind her that Rudy is watching, but the excitement of Rudy has worn off a bit and she doesn't seem to worry so much about him watching! ;) She does however look forward to finding his new "spot" in the house each morning!
Here's to the start of a new Christmas family tradition for years to come!
Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season...here's to all the busy elves in our lives!
Love,
Caroline's Mommy
