So each year, as we get ready for Santa to come, I look forward to December 1st when our Elf on a Shelf comes back from the North Pole and our Advent Cups begin.
These little traditions take a LITTLE planning on my part, but are inexpensive ways to make the holidays fun. It’s fun for me to be creative and to see the boy’s faces each morning when they search for our elf, or check to see what’s in the cup and what our special thing for that day will be.
This year, thanks to Pinterest, I am going to have a little fun with our Elf and make him a bit naughty. The boys will love it.
Here is what he will be up to….
