A Vintage Wonderland {North Pole Breakfast 2012}

Before I share this year's North Pole Breakfast with you, I would just like to say thank you to everyone that has emailed me or left me a sweet comment about our past two years' NPBs. We love this little tradition and it makes my heart happy to know so many have been inspired to start their own NPBs with their families. Celebrating together is what it's all about! 

So here it is...our own Vintage Wonderland!

I always try to use what I have on hand and this year was no exception. I like to pull things and make them work in unexpected ways, like say the placemats, which are actually vintage pillowcases...

...or my trusted vintage pink pom pom bedspread which has been used in more parties than should be allowed...or the gnome fabric from a sewing project which hasn't seen the light of day yet...

We always start out by making the littles wait for the big reveal...

No peeking!
{yeah, right}

The look on their faces is always priceless!

Childhood innocence...there's nothing more magical than that!

Grace's letter from Super Belly...

Hudson getting a little help from Daddy to read his letter from Cookie Rooftop...

We all know the North Pole is not exactly known for its healthy fare...I mean, have you seen Santa lately???!  In the North Pole, the sweeter-sprinklier-frostier-sugarier, the better!  It's true!

I seem to recall something about a shortage of snow-covered donuts at the North Pole this year??? Hmmm...seems the elves have been hoarding those little bites of heaven, soooooooooo they brought Santa's second favorite snack, icicle-sprinkled gingerbread boys...yUm!

Oh, and who can forget Mrs. Claus' favorite...Very Merry Cupcakes with a dollop of Snow on top...

I have a feeling Hudson and Mrs. Claus would get along very well!

Those sweet reindeer...the elves captured little kisses from Rudolph...

...and from his eight reindeer friends and brought them sealed tight in a magical jar.

Legend has it, whoever opens the jar gets to open the first present on Christmas Day...

Things can get competitive in the North Pole, you know?!?!!

Ho Ho Ho...Santa likes to be fair though, because whoever gets the chocolate kiss, gets to look in their stockings first on Christmas Day...

Who will it be??!

Told you it was a sugar fest at the North Pole!!!

But it wouldn't be the North Pole without some sweet and whimsical decorations...

...and some Nutcracker soldiers lining the way!

I bet Mrs. Claus spends a lot of time making felt ornaments to decorate the Royal Tree...

....and HEY, there's Petunia the Pig carrying her very own little tree!!

Those sneaky little elves always bring a signature ornament that is just right to represent the year...

Mama, you know what??!  Super Belly and Cookie Rooftop DID come by Disney while we were there because look, they used the same wrapping paper that the mail lady used to deliver our Mickey Mail AND they found our Wishing Stars from Cinderella's Breakfast!!!!!  

Sometimes those sweet elves even leave a little extra gift to get in the Christmas spirit...this year it was The Polar Express for Hudson and Barbie's A Christmas Carol for the little pumpkin...

Time to drink some Candy Cane Milkshakes {peppermint flavored milk} to wash down some of those sugary treats...

...and how about some super silly littles on a sugar high??!   My, oh my!

One last thing...do you see what Super Belly was holding when we found him this morning???  Yup!  Elves loooooooooooove a good snow fight, especially Peppermint Snow Ball Fights!!

Those little elves have such a sense of humor...look what they left for us to make because apparently they ran out of time preparing breakfast...

Oh my sweet littles...I sure hope you had as much fun with the North Pole Breakfast as I did!!

It's not about spending a lot of money or making something super fancy, it's just about making the everyday special to capture the moments before the littles are not so little anymore...

Thanks for stopping by!
