Elf on the Shelf

At Thanksgiving this year, Grami'mi (my mom) found a couple little Elves at her door and gave them to Nick's family and mine. Every night the Elf would go back to the North Pole and report to Santa whether the kids were good or not. Then, every morning, the kids would find the Elf hiding in a new spot. It started on December 1st and ran all the way through Christmas Eve night. Yup, that's 24 mornings of excitement and 24 nights of remembering and thinking of new places for the Elf to be. Did you know that the stuffed Elf can't hide himself?!

Here are all the place our little man was found...
