This year I added a new tradition and a new addition to our family......Zippy the Elf joined our family on Saint Nicholas Day (Dec. 6th). Usually for Saint Nicholas Day, Liam sets out his shoes and the next morning he is surprised with little gifts and candy. But this year, there was a special surprise waiting for him to discover at the end of a ribbon trail. It was so exciting watching him open this special delivery. We read the elf's story book and even adopted him online with the name Zippy. Since then Zippy has been surprising Liam with new hiding spots and little gifts every morning. It's been so much fun starting this holiday tradition and bringing some fun Christmas spirit in the house. Here are a few pictures of Zippy caught in action.
