Blogmas Day 6 - The Elf is Back

This is actually something that happened last week but I wanted to share. Our Elf on the Shelf Hollybell usually arrives around the same time as our Christmas tree and sure enough the morning after the tree went up there was Hollybell perched on our kitchen island. 

There she was sitting amongst my advent candle wreath and using a packet of M&M's had spelt out "I'm back" the girls were so delighted to see she had come back, as they remembered all the fun they had last year trying to find her each morning, last year there used to be tears if the other had found her first but this year so far it's all going very well (the difference a year makes)! 

For her return Hollybell also brought with her breakfast from the North Pole. 

Yummy custard filled donuts covered in powdered sugar. This was such a treat for the girls and made a change from the usual cereal.

Hollybell will be with us now until Christmas Eve and has already hid in a few funny places but we love looking for her and seeing what she has gotten up to while we sleep (once she is back from her nightly trip to santa) .
