Visit from an Elf

Well our Elf arrived at our house this year! And man has he been getting into things. Granted I'm pointing it out to Aiden everyday but that smile is worth it. Maybe next year he will be more into and hopefully we can name "Elf". However, he LOVED his elf arrival "North Pole Breakfast"!! Never gets sweets like that.

So how did I do it? Well the North Pole frame was just a dollar store frame with scrapbook paper and stickers I already had. The cup and plate I already had from last year's celerance. Each year "Elf" will write Aiden a letter that I will of course keep! :-) But since it was the first year Santa wrote him. It says:

Aiden, It is my pleasure to introduce your Magic Elf assigned to your family this and every holiday season. He comes from the North Pole to help me know if you've been naughty or nice. He watches with his very own eyes and reports back to me every night! So be a good boy! Merry Christmas, Santa

Each year at the Elf's arrival he will bring a small gift. This year it was an Elf coloring book and some jumbo crayons I picked up from the dollar store.

Now for the good stuff. Food. I baked banana nut muffins. Shells a few peppermint kisses. And finally stuck 3 powdered donuts on a candy cane. Granted on a normal day he would only get a muffin out of this meal, but it was a special day so he could get bad, messy stuff. And let me tell you this little boy knew it was a special day bc he went straight for the kisses and looked at me like "Oh My! CHOCOLATE at Breakfast?!?!"

We didn't have time to read the book in the AM so once we got back home we curled up on the couch read the book then watched the short movie too. What I call a perfect day!
