Breakfast Part 1-
I can't lie...I get a little crazy this time of the year. I just love the elves! I figure I have only 7 good years of this Santa business per kid, so I plan to live it up! Last year our elves came the weekend before Thanksgiving and they went on vacation with us. Royal pain in my butt! So this year, they are coming the weekend we get home from Nona's. I initially started this whole book idea when we were doing Student Treasures books at school. After I got the whole thing typed out, someone burst my bubble and told me the books would not be back in time. Thus, my next project.

How To:
I took a cute piece of cardstock scrapbook paper and cut it to 9x6in. That way it would be 1/4 of an inch bigger than the inside sheets. I took my Cricut and cut out the cute letters for their names. I stuck them on with tape before I laminated the books. The inside has 6 different pages. I simply punched two holes through the pages and tied them with a ribbon loosely, so the pages would open easily.

AFTER WE LEFT YOUR HOUSE
You
would not believe all the presents we had to get ready on Christmas Eve!
Santa
had us loading up his sleigh for hours!
We were starting to think that there was not going to be enough room for
all of the awesome presents.
When
we were loading the presents we saw what Santa had in store for you girls. I hope you liked your gifts!

DELIVERED PRESENTS
You
would not believe all the stops we made! It is very important that we all work
together to get the presents delivered to all the children around the world.
Santa even shared his cookies and milk with the elves and the reindeer. I must
say that chocolate chip is my favorite!
Make
sure you throw the food outside for the reindeer again…they really liked it!

ELF VACATION
Santa told us we could go anywhere we wanted
after we finished delivering the presents. I (Elfie) chose to go to the
mountains to rest. Amelia and Razi wanted to go to the beach. They couldn’t wait to play in the sand.
We were super excited to get back to
the North Pole. Santa only gave us a week off….then back to work to get ready
for the next year!

Somebody’s
Watching You
We keep an eye on you throughout the year. We are
very proud of Sofie for starting school and being such a good girl everyday.
Your mom and dad will be really proud when they see what you have been doing in
dance classes. Keep up the good work Sofie!
Addi, you have been a busy girl! Santa was even
cheering for you when you scored the goals at your soccer games. You have been
a really good girl in Miss Brittany’s room.

A Note to Addi From Santa
Dear
Addi,
I have been so pleased to watch you
this year. You are growing up to be a fine young lady. I have noticed you using
your manners at school. You have done a super job on the soccer field. Make
sure you help out your parents by cleaning up your toys and clothes each day.
Be nice to your sister even when she is not nice to you. Keep up the good work!
Don’t forget to write me a letter and tell me what you want for Christmas!
Love,
Santa

We
Can’t Wait to See You
Santa told
us it was almost time to come back to your house. We can’t wait! Boy, do we
have some funny things in store for you guys!
We hope you
have a safe trip for Thanksgiving to your Nona’s house. Don’t forget to start
thinking of what you want Santa to bring you for Christmas.
We also
want you to think of something special you can do for someone else during this
holiday season. Some families are not as lucky as your family. Maybe you can
donate some of your old toys to some children that don’t have many toys.
Have Fun!!!!
I hope this helps spark some creativity for your very own North Pole Breakfast! I really enjoyed doing this with my girls last year. I am still planning what I am going to make food wise. I am thinking peppermint pancakes....a really cute idea that I found on Pinterest. As I figure it out, I will post more. I have a few more days to nail it down.
