Elf on the Shelf!

I am so excited - I just bought an Elf on the Shelf for my boys!  If you aren't familiar with what the Elf on the Shelf is, it's a Christmas tradition where Santa sends his Elves down to watch little children to make sure they are behaving and whether they are naughty or nice.  This wasn't a tradition we did in my family growing up, but one I learned about a few years back.  I am so excited to try this with the kids and I have already started writing down places that I want our Elf to hang out all around the house.  If you have good ideas, let me know!
