December 7th
Our very own elf on the shelf arrived from the North Pole today.
Matt and I suggested the name Buddy because honestly, who doesn't love the movie Elf? Ella went along for a few minutes, but then decided she wanted to name him Quinn, after her friend from preschool. I suggested a variation, Quincy, and that stuck for a while until Ella apparently had a revelation and declared his name to be Bert.
So Bert it is. I am pretty sure Ella was inspired by Mary Poppins. Either that or Sesame Street, but either way Bert suits our elf perfectly.
