And so begins the month of Christmas! Our first year using our advent calendar in full. Last year I only began making it around the 1st of December. It saw a couple of weeks worth of December but we're excited about giving it a full workout this year! Saw a few versions like this on line so set to making our own. Think I need a number or two in the last couple of lines, though.
With the 1st of December arriving it was out with the Christmas tree and all our little December treasures last night. Daddy was at school late for a production so it was serious 'girl business'. Christmas music up loud, decorating when we should have been eating dinner, eating when it was the normal story time.
We deserved a leisurely evening! Since 2.45 this afternoon we had done 10 single, one way trips in the car around our town plus suburbs - supermarket milk run, school pick up, piano drop off, home, piano pick up, home, Guides drop off, home, Guides pick up, home. We certainly missed Daddy helping out tonight! He was home in time for cuddles though before bed at 8. I had a chat with Daddy while he ate our homemade egg and bacon quiche (it was good!), washing in, fed dog, a shower, then down the road for our gospel community gathering for church. Pete normally goes but justifiably needed some home time. I was just happy not to have to drive far.
Off now for a little Christmas shopping while the girls are at school and Puddleducks. Hopefully, that list will get a few ticks today!
