smorebore Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 So, last year I posted how my kids were older, traditions changing, schedules are busy......here is my new tradition! My sons are 15 and 11....bought an Elf on the Shelf. Instead of the normal Elf activity, our Elf will hold "presents" each morning. Some with names on them some with both names...simple things like......gum, ice cream, cool pencils for school, pizza night that is unexpected, things that older kids like but not that cost a lot of money..... The Great Pumpkin came at Halloween with ITunes instead of candy and they LOVED it......gotta change with the times!!!!!
