This is our first year with an “elf on the shelf”

I never thought of myself as an “elf kinda mom” but we have had SOOO much fun with this little elf…I’d probably have an elf even if I didn’t have kids.  But seriously.

On the first night she (ours is a girl) came to visit I was looking on pintrest for all the creative ideas our little elf could do but my husband suggested why not let our elf be a little different than the rest.
Frosty Sugar Socks (yes that is her name) left this note on the first night of her visit:

We thought Frosty could help set an example for our girls and still have fun in the process.  Every morning they wake up they can’t wait to see what Frosty has been up to!

Here are a few examples:

The one in the lego’s she left a note that said “When you play make sure you share and be kind to your friends”

Our girls LOVE seeing what she has been up to every morning!   There are so many possibilities!

We are having so much fun.  Do you have an elf at your home?  What is your favorite thing he/she has done so far?
