Elf on the Shelf and Christmas Angel Ideas


I started this just for the fun and "magic" of Christmas. I love seeing the kids faces. And I love using the Elf and Angel to tie into our Christmas Activity Countdown.

The Christmas Angel!

I'm excited to bring a fun ad new tradition this year! I put off doing an "elf" bc I wanted an angel. I caved and bought an elf last year. And then ...
I finally found what I had been looking for... The Christmas Angel! 
The boys love it! And know it's not real just fun I like to do. 
I purchased this at Family Christmas bookstore. It comes with a book about giving and a lot of what I'm trying to teach the boys.

                             Now the Elf and Angel introduce our daily Christmas countdown activities every morning together!


Our intro to Kip started at the CHRISTmas countdown breakfast tablescape.
