Francesca has been counting down the days until Christmas arrives! She so loves marking off the days by using our new Heartwood Creek Musical Advent Calendar with Ornaments. It marks the days leading up to Christmas with this beautiful advent calendar. Starting on December 1st, we removed one ornament a day from its unique hiding place and hung it on the tree above. Wind the key and the tree revolves to the tune of, "The Twelve Days of Christmas". Since December 1st, this is the first thing she does every morning. Above are a few photos of our newest advent calender.
As the days are winding down, our household is very busy! Between all the baking, cooking, last minute shopping, and wrapping...I am finding it very hard to find the time to even complete a simple load of laundry. But today, the girls and I did take some time out of our very busy lives and help Grandma make the homemade raviolis (both meat & cheese) for our Christmas meal. Both girls had a blast...but our Annabelle took a real "shine" to being Grandma's little helper...
(Or maybe I should say...supervisor. In the photo above, she was telling Grandma what she needed to do.)
If I don't get a chance to post again until after the holidays, I want to wish everyone out there a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
