hello there, jingle

we, once again, welcomed jingle back with our annual north pole breakfast.

it's so fun and something i hope the kids will remember forever.

anytime we get to eat powdered donuts and not hide in the closet to do so is a pretty great day!!!

candy and sweet notes are kind of perfect!

a north pole breakfast

we welcomed jingle, our elf, back to our home this christmas season with our annual north pole breakfast.

as usual, the breakfast contained a sugar overload.

hi-ya, jingle!

jingle's notes are so special to this girl.

jingle brought a couple of christmas books and some elf chapstick for the kiddos.

this is such a fun way to start off the christmas season and the kids love it!

we are super excited to have jingle back, especially when he brings donuts!!!

Our North Pole Breakfast

Jingle, our elf, is back to celebrate this Christmas season with us.

So, we had our annual North Pole Breakfast to kick off the Christmas season.

We had lots of sugar!!!  Jingle brought the kids a book, tic-tacs, and a note.

Grace and Carter love this tradition.  It's kinda magical and sweet!

Grace did a lot of reading with her breakfast.

While Carter did a lot of eating.  Ha!

We are excited to have Jingle back (and powdered donuts)!!!

Welcome, Jingle!!!

Sunday morning, our friendly little elf, Jingle came for his visit this Christmas season.  Grace asked if we had to read the Bible before she got out of bed.  I was a little confused.  I wish I could say that we read the Bible every morning, but we don't.  I realized that she thought it was Christmas morning.  Ha!  Thankfully, she wasn't disappointed that it wasn't.

Jingle brought a North Pole Breakfast with him...snow covered donuts, mini elf donuts...

...some cute stripey straws (I think he brought those for me.)...

...kisses from Santa and his reindeer, a note, and a treat for the kiddos!

Grace "reading" her note.  She was really just finding blends in the words.  That's pretty exciting though!  She is starting to read!!!

Carter was loving his milk or nilk as he calls it.  He drank 2 bottles!

Sporting their Christmas socks and playing with their wind-up snowmen.

Thanks, Jingle for a fun breakfast.  We are all glad to have you back with us!

Our North Pole Breakfast

Jingle, our elf, came to visit us for this Christmas on Sunday morning.  We celebrated with a North Pole breakfast!  (Thanks to my sil, Steph's Pinterst pin!)

He brought snow covered doughnuts for breakfast,

a little treat for Grace & Carter,

and a note!

Looks like Jingle's printer is running low on ink...oops!

Jingle also brought kisses from Santa and his reindeer!

Grace was excited and a little unsure about Jingle being at our house. I'm not sure she wants him seeing her fits that she throws quite often these days.  I kept catching her staring at him and not with a smile.

Carter loved his doughnut!!!  I think that is the most sugar he has ever had!

Grace finished her North Pole Breakfast with some hot chocolate!

Grace has been very sweet and helpful the last couple of days...maybe Jingle's visit should last a little longer!!!

I can't believe that as I write this, it is snowing!!! (in November!?!)  crAzInEss!!!
