The Elf on a Shelf made her first appearance to our house this year. She knew how excited Lola and Ellie are becoming about Christmas and wanted to be sure to that Santa new what good girls they have been this year.
The girls named their Christmas Elf Haddie. First they both said her name must be JuJu, but since every doll in our house is named wither JuJu or FuFu, we said they must pick a special name for her. After spitting out these suggestions: cat, Abby, unchair, unstool, hat, hat-ie, Joseph, Sienna, Zoe, they decided that since she has such a cute hat on, her mane should be Hat- but because she's a girl she should be called Hattie, which was actually pronounced Haddie, which is actually a real name, so we all agreed that our Christmas Elf''s name is Haddie.
Both Lola and Ellie are really into Haddie due to the fact that she flies to Santa every night to tell him what good girls they have been! I swear all Tony and I have to do is look at Haddie when the girls are acting up and they stop in their tracks. I wish Haddie could hang out all year around.

| We prepped the girls for the arrival of their Christmas Elf by reading the book "Elf on a Shelf" |
 |
| They were in awe when they found Haddie sitting on the shelf in their room, Lola was a bit skeptical about her presence, but eventually warmed up to her. |
 |
| She arrives each morning in a new spot, after reporting to Santa every night. The girls had fun finding her- this time in the kitchen. |
