The advent calender is a real winner

We made our second advent calender for the little one!

For a second year in a row I used Cat at Juggling Act of Life's details and printed out the calender.

She can't wait each morning to open the window.

Each night she spent a lot of time standing in front of the calender and speculating what is inside, and when she will be able to open it!

We bought some chocolates, and stickers, and a little doll with accessories that are scattered around the boxes.

The balloons seem to be a big hit, but the Hello Kitty tongue tattoos does not work, and only makes her tongue black, and leaving a slimy cardboard taste in the mouth.

(I should have started to search for little things a lot earlier... Next year!!)

Thanks again, Cat!

The Christmas tree is up (the advent calender of 2011)

The Christmas tree is up

Can't believe we are as excited about Christmas as we are...
But having a little one all wide-eyed and excited about things like decorating a tree and opening up an advent calender does that to one!

Yesterday, on the 1st of December our Christmas tree was up!
The toddler loved decorating it with her sister the night before. 

 I made my first ever advent calender thanks to Cat at Juggling Act of Life.
I'm sure if you go there and ask her nicely, she will still send you the details. It was super easy to make, and it is much nicer than any advent calender you can buy in the shops.

The calender worked wonders yesterday and today to get the Toddler out of bed and in a good mood...

December is going to be a festive month!

When are your trees going up?
It seems that everyone is catching on to the Christmas spirit this year? (It's not just us! ;-))
