December 12-25 elf on the shelf

Yep let's just throw this out there... I totally sucked at elf on the shelf. I started out strong and then the reality of being a store manager during the holiday season, the everyday commitment of it, and the long hours at work made Lola take a vacation. She still hung around on the shelf and she even brought a hot chocolate bar but that was the extent of it. 

December 5-11 elf on the shelf mess, book, pink milk, tee, puzzle,coloring, and cookies.

So I've been slacking both on my posts here and now even on doing the elf on the shelf. I totally call it that I suck tho.
