Today we welcomed our Elves back into our home for the season.  Peppermint and Cupcake came with a breakfast surprise and a little note to the kiddos.  This year could get fun, both Jude and Teagan were asking about their elves the moment we started decorating the house for Christmas.  Looks like this is going to be a year that we are going to have to get extra creative!

Elves bring cookies – my favorite because it gives the kids an excuse to make me make cookies!  Bring on the sprinkles!!

We have nice elves maybe because we have toddlers?  Who knows – but these ideas have to be at the toddler level and they have to be able to find their elf every morning.  These Elf on the Shelf ideas for Toddlers have been a hit with both Jude and Teagan over the years.

    We don't have an Elf as son was older when this happened but I do enjoy watching the antics of all the elfs. Looking forward to seeing what Peppermint and Cupcake are up to this year.

    I'm still on the fence with this one… I would love to get an Elf but I can only imagine how many nights I would wake up in a dead panic because I forgot to move the dang thing!!

    What a great way to kick off the Elf's holiday adventures. I'm loving the ideas for two Elves!

    We have nice elves too, and my co-workers were totally giving me crap about this because I am such a silly person and they thought that our elves would surely be mischievous!

    I really love this tradition. 🙂 Once the little ones are older, I want to this and hide the elves in all sorts of funny places.

    We don't have an Elf in the house. I do love seeing how other people integrate them into their holiday traditions, though.

    I refuse to let the elf go, even though my son is older. I have more fun than he does!

    My daughter has asked this year for the first time for the Elf on the Shelf. I thought I was in the clear! I guess NOT!
