Our Elf on the Shelf is named Buddy. This is our third year with Buddy and he seems to be even more real to the girls this year. These past two mornings they have been more excited to find out where Buddy is than to see what is in the Advent Calendar. They also have many more questions about Buddy and his magic this year. Sometimes my explanations seem pretty far fetched to me (and I wonder if I should really even be saying these things) but they've seemed to accept them thus far.
I have several good ideas for Buddy this year thanks to Pinterest. It should be even more fun!
This morning Buddy hitched a ride on Maximus. Heidi thought this was hilarious!
Here is Kyla reading to Buddy yesterday. She pulled up a chair to be at his level but didn't get too close, so as not to break the rule of touching him. She proceeded to read him "A Book about Me" for the next twenty minutes. "Just in case Buddy doesn't know all about me."
More Buddy posts to come.

We started this tradition this year! I thought Cole might be hip to it, but he's bought in hook, line, and sinker! How do you keep your girls from touching Buddy when he's in arm's reach? So far, Jingle Fluttershy Shelfy has been placed far far far out of anybody's reach.
