Elf on the Floor

Hairy eared dwarf lemur even made it as a decoration.

Reesi worked so hard decorating her tree and singing Christmas carols the whole time.

Last night we put up Reesi's little tree in her room. We didn't have time to decorate it, other than the four ornaments Reesi made on her own, but Reesi absolutely loved it. This morning, however, she was begging to get out the decorations. I was already thinking how I will miss the days when a $20 tree could make her so excited.

We also got out our Elf on the Shelf, Eubie. Eubie decided it would be a great idea to hide in her tree overnight. The downside was this made Reesi wake up at the crack of dawn like it was Christmas day. She came down so excited and urging us to get out of bed right away and come see something. In her words, "You're not going to believe this." I knew I couldn't go back to sleep so I got up to see Eubie. Reesi then had the idea to bring the Christmas tree downstairs so we could look at Eubie all day. I carefully carried the tree down the stairs, but not careful enough. Eubie took a tumble down about four stairs. The problem with this is that you are not allowed to touch Eubie. So we had to go get a fork and scrap him onto a plate. We then put the plate under the tree waiting for him to climb back up on his own. Hopefully, Eubie won't tell Santa about this episode!
