Sparkles Our Elf


This December we had a new member join our family...Sparkles the Elf.

The girls were so excited when she showed up.  




Hanna was pretty excited to see Sparkles riding around with Doc McStuffin



Sparkles reminding the girls to "Be Good"



Baby Potato Head was trying to help Sparkles out



Mmm....Sparkles was thirsty


Traffic jam!!




Sparkles had to get a game of Zingo in




Just hanging around



Telling Santa what she wants for Christmas



Sparkles loves books just like Caty and Hanna


Bubble bath time



Dashing through the snow. On a one-horse open sleigh




If they played Zingo they have to play Topple


Sparkles brought the girls from Christmas books 






Sparkles hanging out on my favorite Christmas decoration



Playing Peek-a-boo


Someone got themselves stuck in the entertainment center



Sparkles is hiding


Thought she'd take a ride with the family on our Sea World Ornament


Left the girls a note


Time to bake some cookies


The girls were sad to say goodbye to Sparkles but are already looking forward to her returning next December
