Last year, my Mom gave us the book “Christopher Pop-in-Kins” that comes with a cute, poseable elf. It’s the same concept as the original Elf on the Shelf but cuter! Christopher watches to make sure the kids are being good and reports back to Santa on whether or not they should be on the nice list or the naughty list. He “pops” into different places every night. Adam loved looking for Christopher every morning last December.
I came across the idea for a North Pole Breakfast on Pinterest (love that site!), and thought it would be a fun way to welcome in the Christmas season. So, here is our family’s North Pole Breakfast.
I set everything up the night before…it was like it was Christmas Eve!
Christopher left a card, a stuffed animal (to play with because nobody can touch him or he’ll lose his magic), and a pair of Christmas socks for the kids.
For breakfast, he brought us “snow-covered donuts” and “glacier hot cocoa”. He even turned on some Christmas music!
Here are the notes he left the kids.
While Mommy made the hot cocoa, Daddy read them the book.
They sure loved the powdered donuts!
We had a great time talking and laughing together over breakfast. I think this will become a yearly tradition for us!
