25 Elf On The Shelf Ideas
This is the first year we are doing Elf on the Shelf and boy am I going big with it! I have one elf for each kid and then a baby elf to come in mid December! At first I was really creeped out at the elf. Every year I contemplate doing it and finally caved in! I was nervous about forgetting to move the elf, but I made it very easy and set up all 25 days and put the accessories and outfits in a box so each night I just pull it out and set it up. There is nothing that can compare to your child's face lighting up when you do these magical moments with them! Zane is so excited for the elves to come he talks about them everyday!
I'm going to break it down day by day to explain each set up along with some pictures to go with some of the scenes!
