Robert the ELF

Evelyn meeting the Elf for the first time

We had a new visitor this Christmas season.  Evelyn came home to find an Elf sitting in the middle of our wreath.  I told her he just showed up while she was gone and he had left a book under our tree.  The book explained to Evelyn that he was an elf from the north pole and that everyday he watches Evelyn and Jane to make sure they are taking care of each other and being good then at night he reports back to the north pole.  When you wake up in the morning he will be in a different spot.  He has surprised us by being in the refrigerator, hanging from the chandelier, and in the Christmas tree.  He will come everyday until Christmas Eve but he will be back to our house the following Christmas.  His magic will disappear if you touch him so it is very important you don't touch him so he will be able to come back.  We were told to give him a name so Evelyn named him Robert because she said it sounds good with the last name Kelly.  It also happens to be her Grandpa Kelly's name:)  She wasn't too sure about Robert when they first met.
