Elf on the Shelf 2012: Day 12

I went easy and hid our Elf on the Shelf, Kingston, in the tinsel ball that hangs by the screen in our dining room. It was an easy place to hide him but I think it was success because it took the kids awhile to find him but not too long. If they take too long to find … [Read more...]

Brian said he would move the Elf on the Shelf, Kingston, after Sophie went to bed. We went to bed and didn't move the elf. I remembered this as I was falling asleep so I jumped out of bed. I didn't know where to put Kingston. I ran to the kitchen and decided to put him on top of … [Read more...]
