Elf on the Shelf

The boys, especially Nate, were really into the Elf on the Shelf this year.  Actually I can't lie, Carl and I were really into it this year as well and tried to come up with some creative ideas for our visiting elf.  So without further ado, meet our elf Cliff who was named by Nate.  The boys were sad to see him go.

Now that our elf has a name I registered him at the North Pole and we got a letter from Santa

Cliff playing chicken with the trains.  In case you're wondering, he lost.  

Nate wasn't happy about Cliff dipping into his Oreo stash

So glad Cliff believes in proper hygiene

J wasn't happy Cliff was playing with his Legos
