Super, our elf, made his first appearance of 2010 this morning!!!
To celebrate, we had our first ever North Pole Breakfast!
There's that little sneaky guy! 
He wrote letters to the littles...
...and brought a little treat!
Warm socks to keep those piggies toasty...after all, it's reeeeeally cold in the North Pole! 
Daddy read the classic Elf on the Shelf, which reminded us that we can't touch Super...so he brought a little puppet the littles can play with any time they want! 
And then it was time for classic North Pole breakfast food...
Snow-covered Donuts...
...and Floating Glacier Hot Cocoa!
He even brough a big Peppermint Kiss straight from the jolly old fella himself...and teeny tiny Kisses from Rudolph and the other reindeer, of course! 
The donuts were a big hit...
...but the laughs shared
...and the memories made - like a little someone's first taste of hot cocoa - were even better! 
Such a fun morning spent together...
Can't wait until next year's North Pole Breakfast, our new tradition to celebrate the start of the holiday season! 
Merry Christmas!

Precious smiles and precious memories. Love the themed breakfast!

I always love your ideas. I may steal some!
I love this!! Such a great idea!
WOW! I want to be you when I grow up!
Buddy, our elf, has been here a few weeks. I love this idea we'll have to have a North Pole Breakfast next year.
Jess, you have done it again! What a beautiful idea. I love how you make every holiday such an occasion to remember. You're children are going to look back at their childhood with such happy memories xo
Love this idea Jessica! You are super creative!!!
Great idea! Love it!
Wow! What a fantastic idea! We have done our letters to Santa but think perhaps a little elf may need to make a visit here too! Love it!!!
This is an adorable idea, I can't wait to do this with my kids!
This is ridiculously cute! I saw this on Coolkidsblog- I am so copying you on this!
Love how cute your table is decorated! And I love the Elf on the Shelf thing! I've been trying to decide if my little girl is big enough to understand it this year. I'm thinking she probably isn't so I might wait until next year to get that book/elf. Thanks for sharing this cuteness!
You are the best Mom ever! So fun!
I agree....I want to be like you when I grow up;)
Oh my goodness. What a fab idea! Michael, our elf, just kinda showed up this year after a dramatic first entrance on our doorstep last year...but this, this cute breakfast idea...if you Turkey Trot with me next year, you can fill my ears with cute ideas!!!
he he he...thank you all so much!
I literally decided to do the North Pole breakfast the night before so I just gathered what I had on hand and made one last minute trip to Target for donuts & marshmallows and then just put it all together, adding the letters to G & H at the last minute. The littles loved it so it was all worth it in the end! :)
Ash~ I SOOOOOo need to do Turkey Trot!!
Hi! I just found your blog through a photo on Pinterest, and I have to say I loved this idea so much! We just last year started the Elf tradition and have been looking for new ideas for the tradition! Í will definately try this, I think the kids would love it! I'm writing a 100 days to christmas blog post each Friday and would love to feature this tomorrow if thats ok!
Hi, Kirsty,
Yes, that would be great!
thanks,
Jessica
This is adorable! We have The Elf on the Shelf, but I have never done such a "kick-off". May have to do this with the girls this year. THey would LOVE any excuse to have donuts for breakfast!
You are the coolest mom EVER! I am totally going to try this! Thank you for sharing! You really are a awesome mom!
Thank you both!!
Such a fun and easy way to get the holiday spirit going!!! Hope you all enjoy!
Jessica
Absolutely LOVE this!!! I would love to know where you got your table decorations and the paper you used to write the notes. Thanks so much for sharing!
I just found your blog, and I have to say, 1st, you are AMAZING, and 2nd, your kids are so lucky to have a mom that takes the time to make such fabulous memories for them!This was so sweet!
Thank you for the sweet comments!!
Most of the tableware (except for the cloth placemats) came from Target! The paper I used for the letters came from Michael's scrapbook section.
This is so sweet. My baby is only one but I can't wait for christmas traditions. LOVE this idea.
I just found your blog today through a pin on Pinterest. I love this idea to have a breakfast w/Super. And I just ordered our first elf on the shelf today from Pottery Barn Kids (free shipping-yay!). Amazon had sold-out.
Again, love this idea!
I just found this through Pinterest! You are such a wonderful mommy! I am so doing this with my 2 year old this year! :) She's 2 1/2. I'm hoping she will "get it". Thanks for sharing your great ideas!

Thanks ladies! This was a super easy and super fun way to kick-off the holiday season! Your littles will love it!

Hey there! Thank you so much for this! I added a link to your page on mine for an Elf on the Shelf idea compilation that I made. Here is the link: http://kindacrunchymamalife.blogspot.com/2012/11/elf-on-shelf.html I hope that's ok?! Thanks again so much!
love this!!
This is fantastic! We're totally going to start this tradition this year which is perfect because its the first year our elf will appear! Btw I got mine after Christmas last year for half price at target. So for those of u with babies if u can wait its worth it.
How did you move your Elf off of the donut jar?? I thought he couldn't be touched? Just don't want to blow it for my kids, and want to know how you're working around that. Thanks! :)
We've added our own little family rule to the "no touching the elf" rule.
On the first day the elves appear (North Pole Breakfast), the littles can each give a hug to their elf and tell us where they want us to place their elf (mantle, their room, etc.). From that moment on, no touching!
Works well for us! :)
Thank you for your creativity! I borrowed some of your great ideas for our North Pole breakfast and I am linking back to you within my post!
Love all of your ideas! If you have time, stop on over and share this linky and your elf activities in my linkup, too! I will be pinning all the elf post on Pinterest. http://www.crystalandcomp.com/2012/11/the-mommy-club-share-your-resources-and-solutions-72/
THanks, Crystal
