Our beautiful little Princess!




Kyla recieved a special delivery from Santa today, she had a present under the tree that she was able to open early. It was the "ELF on the Shelf" and she was so excited. Daddy read her the book and she remembered everything about the elf. She went in search of her very own elf and found it playing with her kitchen in the bedroom. Kyla wanted to make sure that the elf was a girl so we made a pretty little Christmas tutu and a necklace with a bell and left them next to the elf before we went to bed. In the morning her elf was back wearing her pretty little tutu that matched the one I made for Kyla. The first and last think Kyla talks about each day is her elf. In the morning she is excited to find where her elf is hiding and when she lays in bed at night she asks if her elf has "flown away to the Northing Pole".

Kyla named her elf Jingle Jill, a combination of Jack and Jill and Jingle Bell since those were the two names she had came up with. Kyla loves the idea of looking for her elf each day and keeps talking about how the elf flies over our house to the North Pole with Santa at night time. She knows that it is not a toy and that it will lose it's magic if she plays with it. It is a fun little Christmas tradition that we were introduced to through both Jon's sister and brother and my sister and I decided to introduce our kids to the "Elf on the Shelf" this year too.
