Arriving back late on Tuesday, our first day of Elf on the Shelf was pretty lame this year. Shelfie was tossed up on the pot rack.
Henry was very excited for Shelfie's return. And I don't think I will have to play the Santa card much this year. Henry spent the evening walking around checking off each time Sam was naught on an imaginary checklist. Once we got to five, Henry said, "Sam, you need to be good. Otherwise Shelfie will go tell Santa you were naughty and you won't get any toys for Christmas!!" Of course later they were wrestling and I asked if they were being naughty. Henry's reply was "Sam sure is! Go tell Shelfie!"
While Dave put up the tree, the boys and I ate a snack. Henry was quite a goofball this evening.
We decided to let Dave finish the tree, and the boys and I went to town to pick out one new ornament each for the tree. We stopped at Hobby Lobby. Henry informed me he wanted the five-pack of Angry Bird ornaments not for the tree and a separate red bird for the tree. Of course they didn't have the one he wanted, so we planned a trip to Target after we left Hobby Lobby.
Sam picked out this lovely lobster for his ornament.
I got this robot to remind me of Dad, which promptly made me cry once I got it up on the tree in front of my favorite picture of Henry's hand resting happily on Grandpa's.
Henry got a red Angry Bird at Target.
The boys put their new ornaments up on the tree and we decided to wait to finish decorating until tomorrow.
