Elfred, our friendly elf, arrived the day after Thanksgiving this year (yes, while we were still in NYC) and helped to increase the anticipation leading up to Christmas. Thompson took to writing notes to Elfred - and Elfred obliged by writing back. Santa sent him with red tinsel, which he donned daily. The boys often debated whether touching the tinsel counting as touching Elfred. The day he landed on the shelf in William's room, he had left his tinsel in previous day's location. Thompson's attempt to get it to Elfred resulted in Elfred falling onto the floor...and both boys were distraught. The following day, Elfred was in his very own make-shift bed resting with a band-aid on his forehead and bandage around his arm. Among his many other adventures, he was in the garage, upside down in front of the TV, in the Christmas tree, brushing his teeth, in a Lego boat in the bath tub (and tumbled overboard after the boys decided to play with the water), playing football & scoring a touch down against Santa, stuck in an empty cereal box, in the refrigerator, on the bed post, beside the printer, in the M&Ms, gliding in over the dining room on T's birthday, and many more. Thankfully, Elfred found his way to Annie and Poppy's!
