Tonight we started a new family tradition with "the Elf on the Shelf." First, I read the kids the book, then we watched the little movie that came on tv last week. It was really cute! It was tough when it became time to name him... the 3 big boys couldn't agree so I let each boy, including Ethan, pick a name, then we let Jeremy decided which one he liked best without knowing who came up with what name. Caleb picked "Flick," Andrew picked "Flynn," Matthew picked "Wilson," and when I asked Ethan what his name was, he said "Elmo." Jeremy immediately took Elmo out of the running because that name was already taken by Ethan's new obsession, he didn't like Wilson because all he could think about was the volleyball from Castaway, he didn't pick Flick because he said that's what you do to be mean to someone, so Flynn won! Andrew was excited! I'm looking forward to posting some pictures of Flynn!
