Elf On the Shelf Ideas ~ A Fun Family Christmas Tradition, Day 15 #Elf

Day 15~ We have an empty manger in our home and when the kids do something kind they get to put a piece of straw in it, to make a nice bed for baby Jesus on Christmas. Our Elf must have done something kind last night cause this morning we found him putting some straw in it.

Day 7~ Hanging out in our big “B” watching over baby Jesus… the kids put a candy cane in the manger with baby Jesus they thought he might like a treat

Day 8~ n the couch with BOTH of our xbox remotes, and a half eaten bag of mint Oreos…. Someone had a fun night The kids were not to happy that they could NOT play any games on the xbox today…in fear of touching the elf.

Day 9 ~ It took the kids while to find our Elf today… he was hiding on the shelf in a giant conch shell, it gave the kids a good giggle when they finally found him.

Day 10 ~ The kids found our Elf hanging out on the bathroom vanity doors, they said he was in “Jail” for the day.

Day 11~ He was putting up lights in the kitchen and looks like he got a little tangled up.

Day 12 ~ Our Elf climbed up on the top of our hutch and was trying to paint a picture. But the picture he was painting was one my husband made when he was a little boy.

Day 13 ~ Smuckers sent us a wonderful package of goodies for the Holidays, I guess our Elf could not wait to jump in and enjoy them. He was snacking on a spoonful of Jif peanut butter this morning.

Day 14 ~ Chubs (yes he is a boy) found Princess Anna and Queen Elsa and are playing dress up. My kids are convinced he is the silliest Elf EVER and sure are glad me makes us smile every day. He made himself his very own dress out of scraps from the Elsa Dress I made my daughter for Halloween.
