Some of our favorite #ElfOnTheShelf setups this year…

The kids were really into Jovie-Belle, their Elf on the Shelf, this year.  These are a few of my favorites. Post your favorites in the comments! (I have a bunch on Pinterest too… some appropriate, some not at all.)

Jovie-Belle is chillin' in the 'fridge tonight. The kids need to work to find her after touching our little #ElfOnTheShelf friend today. Plus, I told them the cold back at the North Pole helps elves heal. ❄☃❄

Jovie-Belle is trying some #iceskating tonight! #ElfOnTheShelf ☃ I feel like I reuse the same spots, but there's only so many spots where they can see, won't touch, and the cat won't knock it over. 🤣

Can you tell that this #Marshmallow #BubbleBath was @bcarroll_13's idea & setup? You can find amazing #ElfOnTheShelf props digging through the kids toys, the kitchen, & the junk drawer. 🎄🛀

Jovie-Belle must be a fan of @homedepot too! (Although, the hammer looks like it's from @harborfreight.) Our #ElfOnTheShelf Heard we had to miss a few #KidsWorkshops so she thought of her own #NailStringArt project. Hope the kids like it! (I hope they see the name on her apron & nails in her pocket!) #Yulenanigans #HomeDepot #HarborFreight #DIY #ArtsNCrafts #Christmas 🔨🎄❄

If you followed our #ElfOnTheShelf adventures, these are the completed #NailStringArt #Christmas trees that Jovie-Belle left for the kids. Ian did his mostly by himself, I had to pull it tight a tiny bit. He was done before Molly! Photo (s) stolen from @bcarroll_13's Instagram. 🎄🔨

We didn’t get crazy creative every night, but the kids really made a big deal about finding her every morning. Maybe next year we’ll get a second elf and have some more fun.
