I will admit, I had a hard time coming up with ideas. There are a ton of Elf on the Shelf compilation articles out there, including my own. But a lot of the ideas involve other items, which we didn't always have. I wanted to have ideas that for the most part involved things I had lying around the house. I'm not saying our Elf was the most adventurous but Gideon enjoyed him and that's all that matters.
Doodle then left us Christmas Eve night/ Christmas morning where he left a picture of him sitting on the Christmas tree and Santa poking into the picture. He also left a little note for Gideon telling him goodbye and he hopes to see him next year.
Overall, this was a really fun tradition to start and I know Gideon will be looking forward to it again. I hope you enjoy my pictures and ideas of what we did!
