A New Tradition...

I don't know who told me about this Elf on a Shelf book, but I think it's so cute so I had to get one for Abby even though she's a little young to really get it... nonetheless, we now have an elf in our house and Abby even managed to name him. I've never heard her say this word before, but when I asked her what we should name him, she said Beetle, clear as day. So there you go, meet Beetle! It's a much better name than the obvious names I would have picked out. She's so creative. : )

Abby meets and instantly loves Beetle.


They chat about how cool Santa is...


and then she finds out... wait!? He's here to spy on me?!
