Elf on the Shelf Door on the Cheap, $3 to be exact.

Lenny our Elf does not make his official appearance until Dec 1.

But in prep for his arrival, he has requested a door for easy access to and from the North Pole.

See we are finding at 6.5 years of age Buggie has A LOT of questions about how things work, and if they are real.

And this Momma is NO WHERE near ready to give up the magic.

So I went to Joann's and came home with the workings of a Elf Door.

For $3 I came up with this.

- Picture frame $3.99 but after a 40% off coupon paid $1.80

- Bag of little knobs $1.99 but after my 40% off coupon paid $1.20

- paint which I had already

- bag of sticks which I had, but are around $2

- hot glue gun

After measureing the sticks to the back of the frame I was able to just cut them with regular scissors. 

Then painted everything and hot glued it together. 

And added a "Elf Only Entrance" to it. And I was done, yep that easy and that cheap.

When Lenny comes Saturday he will come with a little note explaining the door and that Santa felt it was a good addition for the Elves. 

Fingers crossed that this helps keep the magic alive and filling our house this Christmas!

A house full of magic.

Wednesday after school something BIG happened.

One of those milestones, that for sure is sealing the fact that my little Buggie is growing up.

She lost her first tooth!!!

I may or may not have aided in the losing of the tooth by feeding her an apple.

I may or may not have done this because I wanted her to loose it at home.

I may or may not have been a little jealous if this were to have happen at school and I was not there to witness it.

Then Wednesday night she tucked her tooth under her pillow and went to sleep.

And when she woke she found this...

Lenny our scout Elf and the Tooth Fairy had a hot chocolate date.

The Tooth Fairy even left behind a little bit of pixie dust with bum prints.

You should have heard the giggles from my little girl.

These moments are what I cherish, making my daughters childhood memories filled with wonder and magic.

And guess what the tooth next to it is super loose too!

I keep telling her she will get to sing "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth."

Hum wonder what Lenny and the Tooth Fairy will get into next time she visits?!
