Elf on the Shelf Breakfast

Our Elf on the Shelf made his first appearance 

this morning with a special breakfast for the kids.  

It's the first time "Haddihat Foofer" 

did something special instead of just moving 

to a different spot and boy was it a hit!! 

Apparently, our elf picked up some special paper plates and napkins and some fancy candy cane cups perhaps from the Dollar Store ;)   and had it all set up on the table with a menu this morning.  The menu was easy enough that I could make it from ingredients I had on hand while the kids waited patiently (out of all mornings, they happened to choose this one to wake up way earlier than normal!)  Of course, the elf couldn't do the cooking himself, since he's "frozen" until tonight when he goes back to the North Pole after the kids go to sleep.

Here's the menu...

This picture isn't the best, 
but I must say, they were delicious!!

Granted they had finger marks from 
when I dipped them, but they were still a hit!

Because a fancy cup with a twisty straw
can turn regular fruit punch into North Pole Punch!
(and yes, they did brush their hair later before they left for school!)


This whole breakfast was just a little bit of extra work for me, but the kids really loved it.

Here's my original post about our elf 
(with links to great sites for Elf Inspiration). 

And check out our new Elf on the Shelf Idea Party!

NOTE: If you don't have your own Elf yet, I've seen them at Target this year and of course on Amazon.  When we first got our elf and book set a few years ago, I grumbled a bit about the $30 price tag.  However, it's totally been worth it for the "magic" it's been bringing for the past three years now.
