I think I’m more excited for this day than Eli is about Christmas!
This is a huge production in our little household. I have been planning this since November last year when Eli said, “Nisse brought the same treats and put them in the same spot as last year!” What? How does he remember this. I had to pull up the blog post from last year to remember what I did 🙂
Throughout the year, I have been gathering ideas and shaking up the treat menu.
The name place cards was a quick fun addition.
To make it a little easier this year the plan was to have pre made treats, but Pirate O’s failed me. They didn’t have mergpijpjes and a few other cakes that I was counting on, so I was forced to try something new. Paul picked up these chocolate covered marshmallow domes. We were a little disappointed that all the chocolate dome shells were cracked, but they still looked great. It was a risk, and Eli loved them!
He thought the snowman faces were cute.
Fun black and white cookies.
The raspberry shooters were new and they turned out really tasty.
There are still the same treats as last year, because not only are they are simple, they look fun.
Hot chocolate is always a must.
Paul’s favorite cookies.
What should he eat first? Ha!
Paul enjoyed his breakfast.
Eli had fun filling up his plate.
Paul and I didn’t get any sleep last night. Anticipating the 5:30am alarm kept both of us up. But, it was worth it. Eli loved it! After breakfast he said he felt the Christmas spirit and really likes the way it feels. Nicely done, Nisse. Now for a fun month of activities to keep it going!
