December 1, we officially kicked off the Christmas season with our North Pole Breakfast. Luckily, I was able to reuse most everything from our breakfast last year, which made throwing it together super easy. Hadley has been asking about her elf, Rudolph, for several days now. I was like a kid in a candy store when I went in her room to wake her up. I couldn't wait to tell her that a special visitor had been at our house and prepared her and her brother a treat.
Both kids got a letter from Rudolph, which talked about some personal things, such as Hadley's responsibility chart and Canaan's new activity, dumpster diving. Hadley couldn't believe that Rudolph new some of those things about her. ;)
One of our family's favorite breakfast meals is monkey bread. I usually just use one can of biscuits and make a smaller batch of monkey bread, but I thought this breakfast was a special occasion. So I made the entire recipe, which calls for three cans of biscuits. Needless to say, we had leftovers.
Bed head and all, her first glimpse at Rudolph's magic. She waved at him and said hi.
Her eyes stayed on Rudoloph the entire breakfast; she just couldn't look away. It was as if she was watching to see if he made a move or something.
Canaan loved the ooey goodness of the brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter, as well.
Oh, I am so excited about this Christmas season. Rudolph's magic is already working like a charm around the Stinson house. Welcome back, little elf!
