{Lola & Buddy, watching the Christmas Classics}
I’ve been thinking about getting an “Elf on the Shelf” for the past week or so, and when John came home and mentioned he’d heard about it at work, the decision was made--so while Mommy was out shopping bright and early this morning, I stopped by the adoption agency {Target} and picked the sweetest elf I could find. I think it was his blue eyes that got my attention--so angelic!
We mentioned to Lola that Mommy would be brining him home today so she was VERY excited when I got home with our new friend--she named him Buddy (a very special name in our family)--and that is exactly what he has been to her all day long. Everywhere she’s gone today, so has Buddy. (As soon as we opened his box, I handed her the Elf, not knowing that the children aren't supposed to touch him. They need a disclaimer on that box! Oh well, we'll just tell her Santa restored his flying magic and start following the rules tomorrow.) She was very hospitable, making sure he was included today with the others--even hooked him and Aurora up on a little date!
Lola is a very well behaved girl the majority of the time, but it doesn’t hurt to have an extra pair of hands around--you see, Buddy will fly back to the North Pole every evening to report to Santa on Lola’s behavior. Ah, so looking forward to this new yearly tradition!
