Elf on the Shelf

This is the first year we have started "The Elf On The Shelf" with the boys. 
If you are not familiar with it, the general idea is the Elf on the Shelf is Santa's helper that is sent to your home around the beginning of December. You read the Elf on the Shelf book and the family then names the elf, which the boys named ours, "Elfie". He watches the kids and flies back to the North Pole every night to tell Santa if they are naughty or nice. In the morning, the boys have fun finding where he is hiding and what the Elf may have gotten himself into.
The Elf is not supposed to be touched or else he will lose his magic.

When you have kids in the house there is such excitement this time of the year. It is really quite contagious and we all really got into it with them.







We have an elf and I LOVE this new family tradition!!!
