Advent Calendars

To kick of the Advent season, Jingle Bells the Elf brought Addie a fun Advent "Calendar". She arrived from the North Pole last night with 24 Christmas Books all wrapped up for Addie.


So each night before bed, Addie gets to unwrap one present to read. She LOVES it!

I love her little painted toes. :)

She unwrapped her first one immediately. (On another note, if anyone else decides to do this, it's not a smart idea to give a 2 year old a stack of presents, and then tell them they can only open one. Just sayin...)

After we read the first book together, she told me she was going to read it to Sassy (who was lounging in the sun) to make her feel better. Such a sweet sister. :) 



We also have an actual Advent Calendar that GiGi got for Addie a couple of years ago, once again, I can't actually keep thing IN it (oh the joys of a curious 2 year old...ha), so I have to slip them in the correct day right before it's time for her to open in. I got Addie a tiny Christmas tree, and GiGi bought 24 ornaments for her to decorate it with. So now every day she can open up the correct number and get an ornament out for her tree. She thinks it's very fun, especially since she is not allowed to touch the ornaments on our tree.



Hanging her first ornament.

It looks pretty empty right now, but it will be fun to watch it fill up as we count down the days until Christmas.
