Where's Ginger?

 We are taking a more laid back approach to our Elf on the Shelf this year.  Ellie is still too young to grasp the concept so we use it more like a "find Ginger" game each day.  To her, it's the greatest thing ever!  She woke up the other morning to find Ginger and a few of her babies still sleeping.

She was in shock that they slept in so late!

We are still reading our books each day as well.  Thankfully Ellie received 10 during the Holidays last year and a couple this year from sweet aunts and uncles. Wal- Mart and Target dollar bins have provided the rest!  DeDe has a few nice books she is passing down that we will be getting soon.  This girl seriously won't put the books down.  I love it!
