North Pole Breakfast!

We started a new tradition this year – a North Pole breakfast to introduce our Elf to the family! I have been looking forward to starting this tradition for a couple of years now.  This is the first year I felt like Hudson would really get it.

Santa left a note for each of the kids:

And our new little Elf was perched in Santa’s bag waiting for the kids:

Trent read the story of our Elf to the kids:

You get to name your elf.  Originally, Hud picked “Presents”, but I shot that down. :) He ended up picking Chandey. We had to explain to Hudson if he tried to touch Chandey, he would lose his magic. :)  Every morning he looks forward to running downstairs and discovering where Chandey went to next:
