Elf on the Shelf Welcome Breakfast

Our little elf, Paint, always arrives the night of December 1st so we decided to throw him a  "Welcome" breakfast! 

We pulled out our Christmas dishes...

...and I picked up a few more treats for the boys.

 Since setting up our hot cocoa bar, we have been having a lot more hot chocolate around here.  These Santa mugs from Walmart were perfect {and only $3!}

 

I picked up these felt Santa baskets from the dollar bin at Target and filled them with some candies and chocolates.

I also found these little ornaments and some reindeer antlers at the dollar store.

For the food we made elf pancakes {we just added some food coloring for the hats}...

...had reindeer granola {yogurt topped with granola}...

...and some "candy cane" fruit.

I also made up this Naughty or Nice board for a little "behaviour" control during the day. :)

Hopefully the NICE one stays up there a lot more than the NAUGHTY!

If you would like the printables you can download them here and here.

It was a fun breakfast to kick off the Christmas season!

 

Even if you don't do Elf on the Shelf, it still makes for a fun way to celebrate the holidays!

Hope you are having a great week!
