On December 8^th my kiddos did not have too much trouble locating Scout. He was on the hutch in our dining room, tucked on top of a popcorn box. The box was surrounded by popcorn and candy. It was a Friday, so Scout planned some family fun for the evening. He set up a popcorn bar and movie night. There were serving boxes, two kinds of popcorn and mix-ins. The mix-ins for the popcorn included Mini M&Ms, Reese’s pieces and raisinets. There were so many options for mix-ins, but our elf thought we would like those the most.

Scout had some signs with him to explain what we were to do. Click here to find and print the signs that he had. The signs our elf had were attached to colorful paper straws. Those straws were tucked under his arm, placed inside the plastic popcorn serving boxes and shoved inside the lid of a cardboard box.

Popcorn treat

The boys were so excited to finish dinner and enjoy the special treat from Scout. After dinner we quickly cleaned up and broke into our snack. Each kiddo picked out what popcorn they wanted. The options were plain, butter and kettle corn. We popped some corn and filled the serving boxes almost full. Everyone chose their mix-ins. My picky eater passed on the chocolate-covered raisins. Of course, my middle son had to have some of everything. Then, my youngest chose to have a bit of everything, as well. However, he requested extra mix-ins on the side.  

Movie choice

Scout did not bring a movie. He did not bring any suggestions for what to watch, either. We decided to let the boys choose what movie to see while enjoying the yummy popcorn mixture. Of course, we had them chose from the Christmas movie options. “The Polar Express” was the movie of choice agreed on by all three of my kiddos.
