Children's Parties, Christmas, Party Prep
If you're looking for the pink Elf on the Shelf, unfortunately it is no where to be found so far this year! This is the closest option I could find. I did round up some pink elf outfits that you can dress your regular elf up in though! Click here to check those out.
We have decided to start Elf on the Shelf this year with the girls. I've heard lots of mixed things about starting this tradition, but our girls totally believe in magic right now so magic I'll give them! In true Hood fashion, we welcomed our Elf in the most festive way. We threw an Elf on the Shelf arrival breakfast complete with white powdered donuts, pancakes with whip cream and sprinkles and strawberries.
The girls named our elf Sweetheart and she showed up to our breakfast with a letter for the girls letting her know who she is and all about her magical powers. Sweetheart also brought them a little gift too.

My girls look forward to their pink Elf On the Shelf every year. We don't do anything too crazy with her, but they still think it's super fun!

Madi woke up in sort of a grumpy mood, so she looks a little mad in these pics but she turned things around once she got a donut in her system!

I wanted to update this post with a few new photos from this year. Our Elf, Sweetheart is still going strong 2 years later! We also got a new kitten and had to share a few photos! Can you see our elf hiding in the tree?!
Check out these other adorable pink Elf On the Shelf photos I found over on Instagram!
