Elf arrives - Day 1

This morning Gus Gus, our Elf on the Shelf came back from the North Pole. Ella named him last year. This year he planned a special North Pole breakfast, decorated the table and chandelier, wrote the girls a letter, and brought them both sparkly Santa hats.

Our breakfast consisted of a strawberry banana candy cane, grape banana strawberry santa hat, powered donuts, and green vanilla pudding. 

I'm so excited this year to start new traditions, share old traditions, enjoy the holiday, and watch Aubriella experience all of this. 
Tonight we watched a christmas movie that just mesmerized Aubriella. She stood there and just stared at the tv. I can see the Polar Express becoming a new favorite movie.
