Welcome Jingles!

Today began as an ordinary Sunday.  Little did we know what changes were in for.  We got up and went to swimming lessons.  Esme has had a terrible cold with a fever all week so swimming was hard and slow for her.  But she did her best!  FYI - I did ask her if she would like to stay home from swimming lessons and she said no, she wanted to go.

There is an Elf on the Shelf that lives at Foss and his name is Freddie.  After her lesson, Esme was very excited to look for him.  She had a hard time finding him today, he was hiding in the vending machine!  Sneaky Freddie!

As we left Foss to run to Target, I heard from Esme that every single girl in her class and some of the boys have Elves living at their house.  She is the only one who doesn't.  How can that be?  I felt so bad for her! ;-)

The funny thing is, Santa must have heard her because when we got out to the car after shopping, there was an Elf on the Shelf laying under the book she had been reading on the way to swimming lessons!  What the heck?

Esme decided to name her Jingles and we are very excited to announce her arrival!
