Elf On The Shelf 2017 | Featuring Baby Alizey


Hey Guys! 

I hope you are all doing well!  

So there are 6 more days left until Christmas, and Jiwan and I thought why not do something super creative to count down the days!  

As you all know we have a new love in our lives - baby Alizey!  This baby girl has brought so much joy and happiness into our lives.  We thought it would be super fun to dress Alizey up as Elf on the Shelf.  Jiwan's mom made her Elf on the Shelf costume with a special tutu added of course (her mommy's special design touch).   

Each day we will post a new Elf on the Shelf image featuring baby Alizey, leading up to Christmas day.  We hope you enjoy them and hopefully, this brings a smile to your face. 

Elf On the Shelf | Merry Christmas Everyone!
Not only does Elf Alizey help Santa prepare for Christmas day each year, she also runs her own side business - Makeup By Elf Alizey!

Elf On the Shelf | 1 More Days Until Christmas!

Don't worry she will be back in time for Christmas day!

WHAT IS ELF ON THE SHELF: 

The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition is a 2005 children's picture book, written by Carol Aebersold and her daughter Chanda Bell, and illustrated by CoĆ« Steinwart. The book tells a Christmas-themed story, written in rhyme, that explains how Santa Claus knows who is naughty and who is nice. It describes elves visiting children between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, after which they return to the North Pole until the next holiday season.

Alizey's Newborn Photography Session | Lil' Peanut Photography


Beautiful Darling, 

You are the sweetest gift and I adore you. You are a bright 
young thing and the whole world is infront of you.  Take things as 
they come and you will weather well.  Go everywhere.  Be brave and 
strong and free.  Keep your eyes and ears and heart wide open. 
Look for the goodness all around you.  And when you feel small in the 
great big world, be still.  Think of your beautiful roots.  They are deep 
and true and will allow you to stretch far.  So go into the world and let 
your little light shine.  And always remember you are loved and blessed 
and the littlest one that ever stole our heart. 

Yours always.
