New Traditions #ElfontheShelf

Happy December, y'all! Welcome back from the long weekend, I hope y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Seeing my family was just what I needed. However, eating insane amounts of food, and leftovers, then shopping till we dropped was not. Passing out on the couch was a must after the hours of shopping on Friday and Saturday.
During my shopping extravaganza I came across Elf on the Shelf! Everyone, Pepper. Pepper, everyone!
My mother-in-law was probably the first person I knew to get Elf on the Shelf last year, then it seemed like everyone else was on board too. I felt like I was missing out on all the fun. Well, about half way through December I really wanted to start the tradition then Christmas came and went, and I forgot all about it. So, this year I'm a little late to the party (what else is new?), but I'm starting a new tradition for our family. Even though we don't have kids for the Elf to watch, I figured Pepper could keep an eye on Brandon. ;)
Who else has an Elf on the Shelf in their home?!
