{Meet Lollipop}

Meet "Lollipop", he's part of the Elf on the Shelf collection.  I've been seeing lots of "Elf's" on blogs and Facebook ... and decided today this looked like too much fun to pass up.  Kids only "believe" for a few years ~ I didn't want to miss the opportunity.
 When we got home from work today "Elf" was on our mantle?!  Caden wasn't quite understanding how the elf got to our house.  We read the book ... which explained that he was sent from the North Pole.  We named him ... Caden first wanted to name him "Caden" ... but Uncle Abe helped sway him to pick "Lollipop" for the elves name ... and Lollipop it is.
Caden isn't so sure about Lollipop. I hope as the days go on he learns to love Lollipop.  He is so darn smart ... he has already questioned, "why didn't we have an elf last year?" ... in which I replied, "well elves are special and not every kid gets an elf every year".  He also wants to know, "how elf gets in and out of our house?" (That was after he locked the front door). I told him, "the elf has magic powers".
Each night Lollipop flys to the North Pole ... reports to Santa how Caden is doing and what Caden wants for Christmas and returns home before morning.  I cant wait to see what kind of mischievous trouble Lollipop gets into the next few weeks ....

Join us on our adventure! ~ Happy Holidays!

I've seen that book and wondered 'bout it. I seem to recall that Caroline had an elf last year visit her.

Lollipop seems like a nice visitor to have!

Luv the season of believing!

Yes Louise is right. Kelvie appeared again this year and appears all over the house. He was on the top of the blinds in the diningroom this am. Caroline knows not to touch him.
What fun for Caden and familiy!
Love

Our Elf's name is Bill, because I have super-creative kids. ;P
