Our Elf on the Shelf: Peppermint

This was the first year Peppermint made his debut at our home. I think I was more excited for him than Graham! I tried to take a picture each day where Peppermint "landed". We had so much fun thinking up places to put him this year! Next year will be really difficult to come up with new spots!!

Our first morning with Peppermint. Notice he is sitting in a bowl of peppermints...hence the name Peppermint! He brought donuts for Graham and mini donuts (Cheerios) for himself! He also brought a small gift for Graham!
