Early Morning Elf

Our Elf on the Shelf has basically backfired this year!


Last December our then 4-year old was all about being as well-behaved as possible because 'Lula-Belle' was watching.


This December the only behavior our elf is affecting is how early our now 5-year old wakes up!  It's ALL about seeing where she landed the night before.  So as we approach Christmas, the mornings get earlier and earlier - and earlier.  
On the bright side, I've seen some amazing sunrises recently!

Christmas is Coming!

Still a month away but our 5 year old is already talking about it non-stop!  Actually she talks about Christmas year round, but now the conversation is daily!!

But, this weekend her Elf on the Shelf will make her debut appearance for the season.  And her (our elf is LulaBell) upcoming return inspired me to create this.  Painting to commence tomorrow!  No time to loose.
