The Elf
















Les and I love the idea of creating traditions for the kids to remember and perhaps continue with their own families one day. This cute little guy begins to hide every night starting on December 1st. We take turns hiding him and the girls have to find him in the morning. I love to hear them walking around looking for him and then scream with delight when they find him. We have just as much fun trying to come up with new hiding places. After Christmas he will be packed up with the rest of the Christmas decorations until next year when he will come out to play again.

Ohhh, where did you find your elf? We were given the "Elf on the Shelf" by a friend and the children LOVE finding him but he's not quite the "look" I was going for. I would love one like yours!
Thanks, melissa
