This year we finally got it together and purchased our "Elf on the Shelf." For years I've heard parents rave about the elf and how well-behaved the kids are after you buy one. For those of you who haven't heard of them (or have been living in a box), it's an overpriced book and elf you buy. The book explains the story (how the elf flies back to the North Pole nightly to update Santa on your "list" status) and then you name the elf. We named ours "Noel".
After explaining the elf Brooklynn had tears streaming down her face. She was worried that Chandler would be on the naughty list now that there was "proof" someone was watching. Our first reaction - "Damn thing is gonna work on the wrong kid." Eventually Chandler bought into the elf, and we all had a good time with her. The kids were sad to see her go on Christmas.
Steve and I alternated the placement of Noel nightly - making a friendly competition out of it. The girls raced to find her each morning and see what she was up to the night before. I think I won, but I did cheat a little. Thank you Pinterest!

Maybe a little creepy.......
Crazy little elf........
