Our Elf on the Shelf, Tinsel, has returned from the North Pole! Our kids were so happy to see him the other morning. Of course, I couldn't wait for the season to start and would've preferred him to arrive on Thanksgiving, but the hubbs insisted that Tinsel take a few extra vacation days...
Anyway, when our good buddy Tinsel returned to us, he left his mark on several of our framed family photos, and a note on our sliding glass door in dry erase marker! He put mustaches on each photo in our living room... Little miss diva found this frustrating... She immediately went over to each photo and wiped off the mustaches! She was tickled to see Tinsel returned, and loved the note.
This tradition has truly become a favorite in our house and we love Tinsel, but it can be so difficult to come up with new and exciting hiding places for him! If you're like me, you've spent some time on Google and Pinterest finding ideas from super creative Super Mom's and Dad's who have some awesome ideas for their elves! Here are some of my favorites, I hope you'll find them to be helpful! :)

Happy Elfing!
