Elf (take it off) the Shelf

I saw the Elf on the Shelf last year and thought it would be cute for Olivia.  This year I thought she would be old enough to understand the story and thought she would have fun with it. 

So this morning, I take the elf out of the box and she instantly get this look on her face.

She kept saying it was "ICKY!"  So I am thinking the elf creeped her out.   I read her the book that comes with the elf, all the while, Olivia is watching that Elf (we named him Martin) out of the corner of her eye. 

After awhile, she said he was ok, but he was not allowed in her room.   Hopefully Martin and Olivia can be friends, otherwise our tree might be kinda bare Christmas morning!!

I mean what's not to love about this face?
