North Pole Breakfast 2012!

We had a North Pole Breakfast yesterday morning! Earl, our Elf on a Shelf is here! I had such a fun time setting up for Dax and our family! I got this idea from my good friend, Amy. Thanks for the fun idea! Pinterest was full of ideas too! Thank you also to my Aunt Lisa for making our name plates and the note from Santa! Dax was so excited to get treats from Santa, and snowman pancakes and donuts!
Click here to read a wonderful blog about a mom's thoughts on Santa, and the reason we celebrate Christmas...Jesus! I loved how she tied it all in together, remembering to let her children use their imaginations, love, hope, play, and dream.  To be committed to giving them a childhood! I agree totally! Love it! :) I also loved her letter from Santa. My favorite part is when she said that Santa wants her children to teach their Elf on a Shelf to love like Jesus. :)

Here are some pictures from our fun morning! :) Enjoy!
