Follow along with the adventures of Harvey the Elf! Daily, no-fuss Elf on the Shelf inspiration on Instagram throughout the month of December.
Our Elf on the Shelf arrives December 1st from the North Pole and my kids can’t contain their excitement! This is our third year enjoying this fun holiday tradition and I think I’m just as excited as the kids are for our Elf Harvey to get here!
We like to welcome our Elf with a fun Christmas breakfast. Below is a photo of what we did last year — the kids loved it so much I’ll be sticking with the same game plan! Snowman pancakes (2 round pancakes, chocolate chips, bacon, pretzels are all you need), hot cocoa to drink and healthy Santa hats made from strawberries, bananas and a tiny dollop of whipping cream.
I’ll be sharing updates on Instagram chronicling our Elf’s antics over the next month. Search hashtag #AdventuresOfHarveyTheElf and follow rebecca_simpleasthatblog for daily, no-fuss Elf on the Shelf inspiration on Instagram throughout the month of December.
