Note from Batman Elf! It's inside the envelope next to him & written with my opposite hand since he knows my writing.

The Adventures of Batman Elf!

Today our darling little Elf on the Shelf (known as Batman Elf) fell out of the closet, in his box. I decided to hurry and put him in the livingroom while Alden was in the bath so that he could appear suddenly out of nowhere. I mostly did this out of fear because I was scared Alden had or would see him. After this happened I of course started freaking out because last year we only had Batman Elf for 17 days and I had a terrible time finding places to put him. Thanks to Pinterest that will not be a problem this year. I have over 50 ideas which I wrote down in a notebook of things to do with Batman Elf which is good because I think we'll have him for about 40 days this year! I have decided to chronicle Batman Elf's adventures every day with a photo which I will try to remember to upload to this blog.

You can get your own Elf on the Shelf to start your own tradition with here! They also have them on Amazon but I like to support bookstores when I can since I have an E-Reader now and rarely buy hardcopies anymore.
