1st year of Elf on the Shelf

Brooklyn and Bristol had an elf this year!  She showed up right after we got back from Virginia.  I called Santa and told him I thought the girls were ready for an elf this year and he sent one!  Brooklyn named her Ariel.  This was after I convinced her that Grandma, Nana, and Papa were all NOT suitable names for the elf LOL. So Ariel the Elf hung around with us until Christmas Eve when she went back to the North Pole for another year.  But the girls know that she is still watching them from up there so they better be good!

It was a lot of fun watching the girls with their elf this year.  They followed Santa's rules and did not touch the elf..not much anyway.  Brooklyn was very worried that if Bristol touched her her magic would go away.  The excitement and joy on their faces every morning when they saw the mischief Ariel got into made any mess I had to clean well worth it!

Here is a recap of all the things Ariel got into this year!
