Welcome to the Holiday Table Hop hosted by Rita at Panoply
My table was set for an early Christmas Breakfast for two special boys:
These "Cocoa Buddies", in the mugs, will hold marshmallows for their hot cocoa.
They can be found at Raw Rutes
The elves are snuggled under MacKenzie-Childs Peppermint Napkins:
These glasses, with mini candy canes, are from the Dollar Tree:
Two Anna Lee mice sit on a peppermint pedestal plate:
Little melamine candy cane dishes sit on top of red and white thrifted ceramic dishes.....
.....that are on top of striped dishes from Hobby Lobby:
To make it fun, this will be breakfast for the boys:
Naughty Mini Cinnamon Donuts:
Strawberry mice:
Hard boiled eggs mice:
Mini Brioche French Toasts:
And of course hot cocoa:

I couldnt wait to see this tablescape, Patti. Having grandchildren shines a whole new and fun perspective on tablescaping! What a totally fun tabletop and masterful meal menu! I LOVE the plate stack and those DT glasses, so cute! The elves and Anna Lee mice are such playful elements. J has just been introduced to the elf this year and it's been a lot of fun hearing her tell me she lands each morning. I can see your boys having loads of fun with those reindeer marshmallow picks, elves and the breakfast. The M-C napkins are perfect too.
ReplyDeletePatti, thanks for making some fun and festive ideas for littles with your tablescape in this hop. Afterward,(or maybe during), you can use one of the peppermint glasses and reindeer for your own adult beverage. 😉🦌🎄
This is WONDERFUL! I love the red and white, the clever elf in with the flatware, those peppermint plates, and those thrifted plates with the houses. You have reminded me that I have those cocoa buddies and have yet to use them. Where the heck are they? Well, at least I have time to look. :-)
ReplyDeleteThose two special boys are in for a real treat, Patti. Such fun with cocoa and all the specially made Christmas treats. They will enjoy every moment of your fun tablescape.

Your boys will love the this creative menu with such fun food. Always a pleasure joining you at the table. Merry Christmas.🎄
ReplyDeletePatti, what a fun festive table for your little guys! I know they must delight in spending time at your home. Love the darling dishes in the red and white theme, the elf within the napkin, and all the fun food ideas. Merry, Merry!
ReplyDeleteOh Patti what a beautiful table of whimsey that I know your grands will adore. The menu is adorable and the elves are so cute. I am ordering the cocoa buddies as my grands will love having their marshmallows at their fingertips. The Anna Lee mice are perfect for such a lovely red & white Christmas breakfast. Merry Christmas and many Blessings this wonderful Holiday Season.
ReplyDeletePatti, I know those little boys are going to love this table. It is absolutely precious! Those little elves are darling. The red and white color palette is both beautiful and festive. May you have a most blessed and happy Christmas season.
ReplyDeletePatti, the two boys will love this table you have set for them. The elves are too cute and the table is so fun and festive! The red and white color scheme is magical and I love the Anna Lee mice! Wishing you a most joyous Christmas season!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I love the mice and the elves. I bet your littles loved this table! The napkins are so cute. I should probably order them! I also like the bold plates, too. Thanks for sharing your hot cocoa mix with us. That would be a great hostess gift, too. I hope you have a Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteSuch a festive table for your grands! They’re in for a treat with your breakfast offerings and merry mice! I love the red and white combo with the peppermint swirl plates paired with your MKC stripes. The elves holding the napkins are adorable and I’ve long been a fan of Anna Lee…love their cheery faces and expressions, you can’t help but smile! Wishing you a Merry December and Christmas! 🎄❤️
ReplyDeleteHi Patti. Your table had me smiling from ear to ear. First, I love anything peppermint looking and secondly, the elves immediately brought back so many childhood memories of fun Christmases. My mom had a tree full of the sitting elves in a flocked tree full of striped candy canes and ornaments. So when I seen your table, it was like standing in front of my mom's tree. I only wish the family would have kept the elves since now they would be considered vintage. So darn cute and the yummy breakfast has me ready to take a seat at your table. I hope you enjoy your delicious breakfast at your fun and whimsical table. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeletePatti, what a marvelously fun table for two special boys. I'm sure they'll love it. The plate stack is darling in the red and white theme and I love how it all looks together (the thrifted ceramic dishes are adorable). The elves are so cute and the Anna Lee mice are sure to delight. And who wouldn't want to sip from candy cane glasses? The menu sounds and looks fabulous - what lucky boys! Merry Christmas and wishing you a joyous holiday season!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Patti!! My grandsons would love this!! Especially those naughty cinnamon doughnuts!🤣😂🤣 Your whole table is Elfish fun at its best!! I love your plate stack - I have the top plate - but loving what you paired those up with. I have never seen the marshmallow buddies before - had to go to the website to see what they were all about! They look like fun for little boys!! The forks nestled in the napkins with the elves looking like they are up to some mischief is such fun! so cute! I hope you and your family have a very blessed and merry Christmas and have a happy and healthy new year. ❤️🤶🏼🎄
ReplyDeleteWow Patti – what a great table for those boys! I love the plate stacks, especially the peppermint plates – they look like perfect candies. And that little egg mice are adorable. Such a fun time! Thanks for all the great ideas! Hope you have a lovely and very special Christmas!
ReplyDeletePatti, this breakfast will be one the boys will remember for many holidays! They're sure to smile at the elves and especially those sweet mice. They'll love the candy effect of the plates and those marshmallow holders are so cute. Enjoy your breakfast with them! Happy Holidays
