Yes, we do the elf thing. I know people are kind of split down the middle with this thing. I know people who absolutely love it and who go all out catching their elf in all kinds of shenanigans each morning leading up to Christmas and I know people who think it's a creepy little elf watching your children as a behavior modification technique and they would rather opt out. Honestly, I get both sides and I am kind of in the middle. Our elf is in a new spot each morning and, on occasion, he will bring fun stuff for the kids to help them celebrate this season. We aren't that creative in relocating him but we try to be. We have been known, on a few mornings, to run downstairs ahead of Liam to quickly retrieve our little guy and toss him in a new location. Liam likes looking for him each morning and he proudly points him out to anyone who visits our home. Here is what our elf has been up to this year.
He arrived December 1st with Advent Calendars, festive drinking cups, a letter and donuts.
Liam was actually very excited but this was the first face he made. It looks like he's thinking, "What the..."
He has been busy finding new spots to hide but then we found these pajamas and we couldn't pass up an opportunity to make our kids wear matching outfits. Our elf left these in the kids' stockings and they have been wearing them ever since pretty much. Sometimes, even under their clothes. Brygit insists it's a "baby" and she was pretty upset last night when her "baby" pajamas were still in the dryer.
Our little guy is currently hiding in the gingerbread house and the kids got a kick out of how the "baby" was saying "peek a boo" in the "cookie."
