This is our second year with the elf on the shelf. I will tell you that if you don't have it, GET IT NOW! We had so much fun with it last year! And Trent was so excited to get it started this year. He saw the box when we were unpacking Christmas stuff and he kept asking, "when will the elf come back?" He has ran downstairs the last two morning looking for him!
The concept is, the elf watches you all day, then when you go back to sleep he flies back to the north pole to tell Santa how you act. Only parents can touch the elf, because if kids touch him, he loses his magical powers. Every morning, you find the elf in a new place. And sometimes, he even makes messes, like pouring out the pepper, eating some cookies but leaving the crumbs. Overall, it is alot of fun.
too cute! i may have to steal that idea:)

ReplyDeleteMy mother in law bought this for them last year and it really is great! He turned our milk green and left cereal all over the counter last night;-)
