I LOVE Annika's hair. Her hair and then the background...need I say it?!?!
It's a Jan Brett story book, come to life!
I thought of you when I saw the backdrop! It looks so much like a Jan Brett illustration that I had to believe that she either painted it or someone copied her style. (Or SHE copied someone else's....unthinkable)
This photo reminds me of that silly movie "A Christmas Story". Hopefully, your elf was nice to Millie. :)

I've never seen the movie, but thankfully John is pop-culturally literate, and told me that he thinks Santa says, "You'll shoot your eye out."
Sounds like a good one... :)
