Welcome, December! We're all so glad you've come at last!
We don't have much of our Christmas 'stuff' out yet - but the quilt and the books are out - that's almost enough for me - the most important things for the holiday.
This is probably half of the books - they migrate throughout the
house, of course. I try to add a new book each year - this year it's Olive the other Reindeer.
Oh, and this cool Raffi songbook that I picked up earlier this year at a library sale.
Princess loves it and picked "Petit Papa Noel" to play for her piano party - of course - it's in French! And of course she sings along.
I also downloaded a few new Christmas songs - some Beach Boys and - Ronettes awesome. I love having all my Christmas music on shuffle.
Someone's been decorating her room...
We printed off the tiny advent calendar from Alphamom and she loves that she got to draw in each of the windows - super cute.
We also got out the new Playmobil advent calendar.
Thomas is talking about Christmas non-stop. He is sure Santa will bring him most of what's in the Lego and Playmobil catalogs (poor kid), and yesterday kept asking for "The Playmobil box with all the things in it!" Took me a while to figure out that he wanted the Playmobil advent calendar. I'm not sure he knew I'd bought one for this year - but apparently he really loved last year and so I'm glad I did buy one!
And although the peaceful woodland scene is supposed to have only a tree today - it is packed with people 'having Christmas Eve!'
Oh, and Pip is back! Seriously, my kids LOVE Pip - so excited to find him today!
Amy and I will be blogging Pip and Ollie's advent adventures again this year - so stop by!
