The Elf on the Shelf

Lainey received an early gift from Santa - the elf on the shelf! The little elf flies to the North Pole to see Santa every single night and tells Santa if Lainey has been naughty or nice. And then by morningtime, the elf is back on "the shelf". Each morning he is in a new spot and keeps his eye on Laniey and her behavior all day long. Lainey is not supposed to touch the elf because if she does, he will lose some of his magic and his ability to fly back to see Santa. However, Lainey's elf sacrificed a little of his magic so that she could get to know him a little bit.

receiving the package and seeing if it was edible... (Santa delivered it to Dickey's BBQ during lunchtime.)
Oh what fun - a brightly colored box.

after the green box is removed...

Poor elf - he never had a chance.

The elf is playing possum, hoping he'll be left alone.

What a fun tradition! You will be so glad you started it so early with Lainey. We LOVE traditions at our house :) Lainey is a beautiful baby!!
