Yep, we are doing Elf on the Shelf this year. This is only our third year because I really didn't want to start this tradition but my son begged last year. And of course, they all wanted their own so we had our original elf bring two more back with him this time. And that is more fun because they can have adventures together!
Well, guess what, it ended up being really fun for our entire family! I thought I would share what they have been up to in case you need some ideas for yours.
