Suri named her Elf!

Suri has been having an absolute blast since her Elf on the Shelf arrived the afternoon after Thanksgiving!  The look in her eye when she finds him each morning is beyond priceless. Her eyes get as big as saucers as she pauses for a moment before pointing and begging for my attention to look at what she spotted.

She thought it was beyond neat when she found her Elf in the car, hanging from the rear view mirror!  She was glad he got to ride with us to Mary Beth's house!

Tonight, as she was watching her Elf on the Shelf DVD, she looked at me and said, " I like Doodle". "Suri's F's name is Doodle"!!  She named him right around the part of the movie showed the family naming their Elf "Chippey".  Suri and I have been talking about naming her Elf since he arrived but she never came up with a name. She called him "F" (her way of saying Elf). I definitely thought he might be "F" forever but Doodle has stuck with Suri and the rest of the evening, she has referred to him as "Doodle".  I love that she named him 100% on her own!!

Here are a few pictures of what "Doodle" has been up to lately...

Taking a Marshmallow Tubbie

Doodle made Gingerbread garland for the kitchen. He even left some for Suri to make!

Suri spotting Doodle having a Tea Party with Minnie Mouse!

So excited!

Remembering NOT to touch the Elf. . . 

SO happy! She found some tasty little treats on the Elf's picnic table!

She found the Elf in the Refrigerator holding her yogurts.  I almost thought we were going to have to have an "intervention" as she went to strangle him because he was holding HER yogurts....!!!!
It's even difficult to share with your Elf when you are 2 :)

The Elf was watching her eat and her brought her gingerbread window clings to put up

She found him in the car hanging from the rear-view mirror. I love how she is so happy in the background!

And so the Magic continues for 24 more days as tomorrow, we officially begin the countdown to Christmas...
