Taggie

Meet Taggie! This is our new Christmas tradition & the girls are mesmerized. I first read about "Elf on a Shelf" on the Bring The Rain blog. I thought it was really cute. Let's just say, I didn't have plans of getting one and wouldn't have known where to do so. Yesterday, when we walked into a store, the lady came over to me and informed me that they had "Elf on a Shelf". Well, I looked at it and here he is living at our home.
Taggie only comes out at Christmas time. Children can't touch him. They can talk to him if they wish and they give it a name. What it does is help them remember to be good and act nice as Taggie reports in to mom & dad or Santa or whomever. He leaves each night, and comes back before the little ones wake up (in a new hiding spot).
The girls have LOVED being able to find him in the morning. Aliyah is always worried that Keirah will touch him. She also reminds Keirah that Taggie is watching. It's funny.

The name was given to him by Keirah. The picture of Taggie today is in our Christmas tree.
