Lulu the Elf

This year Addie was a good girl so she gets to have one of Santa's elves come to live with us. I had told Addie if she'd be good it would happen, and Addie specifically asked for a girl elf... so Santa had to make a few modifications... haha! The Elf appeared the day after Thanksgiving and will stay with us until Christmas Eve when she'll fly back to the North Pole. Every night she flies back to the North Pole and reports to Santa if Addie was good or bad for the day, then she comes back to our house and finds a new place to stay for the day. Addie named her Lulu. You can't touch Lulu or she'll loose her magic. Lulu can't talk to you either or she'll get in trouble with Santa, but Lulu can write notes and you can talk to Lulu.

Lulu is quite the mischevious elf and has made some messes!

Here's a video of Addie when she woke up to Lulu the first morning.

Here's what she's done so far:

This is the first day she showed up in our bedroom with the book explaining how it all works.

Here is a video of Addie waking up to see Lulu the first day!

Lulu liked her new name and so she spelled it out in cheerios. Throughout the day when Addie wasn't looking, Lulu ate all the cheerios and by the time we went to bed, Lulu had finished them all! Notice how careful Addie is not to touch Lulu! She tells everyone that comes over that they aren't allowed to touch her!

We found Lulu reading some of Addie's favorite books that we had read for bedtime the night before.Then Lulu was playing with Addie, Livy, and Mommy's jewelry in the bathroom because she saw Addie doing it the night before!This was Addie's birthday! Lulu brought Addie a present and hung it from the chandelier. It was a small pink Christmas tree for Addie's room. Addie had asked me for one a few days before. Smart Lulu! December 1st, Lulu brought Addie an Advent calender to help her count down until Christmas!This was the day of Addie's birthday party (which Addie called her 2nd birthday). Lulu wrote on Addie's bedroom mirror! Addie loved that Lulu drew a heart!Lulu made a swing on the fan in Addie's room.Lulu got some candied popcorn, water, and was watching Christmas movies on the laptop in Addie's bedLulu tried to help with the dishes but made WAY too many bubbles! Addie thought it was funny that Lulu was trying to wash her cup's lid and straw.Lulu was trying to brush her teeth in Addie's bathroom with Addie's toothbrush, but made a mess in the sink!Lulu forgot to flush after she went potty! Because we all know, elves pee green! Lulu was sledding down the stairs with a few of Addie's Christmas toys! Lulu made a boat and lake and was paddling around. Later that day while Addie was in the other room, Lulu drained the lake and "docked" her boat on the counter so I could prepare and clean up dinner.

Addie wanted to write Lulu and Santa a letter and send them to the North pole. So to expedite things, we attached the letters to some of Addie's remaining birthday balloons and sent them off!

Watching them fly away to the North pole!

That night Lulu brought back a letter from Santa for Addie telling her to be good so he can come see her Christmas Eve!

Lulu made Addie some Christmas chocolates shaped like an angel and Santa and left them hanging on Addie's stocking!

We can't wait to see what Lulu does tonight and every other night until Christmas for Addie! Addie is so excited to look for Lulu each day!
