Christmas Stuff.


This year, on the recommendation of my dear friend Christine, we picked up the Lego Advent kit. It is fantastic! 25 days of a little Lego creations that Max puts together in record time. It makes a cute little scene at the end. Seriously, some of these are really adorable!

And for Lilly? I got this idea on a blog. I wrapped 25 books and numbered them. Every night Lilly gets to unwrap one book and we read it. My kids are loving these ways to countdown each day!
I wrapped a few new Christmas books but the great majority are ones we already had. I used books about Christmas, snow, winter, snowmen, etc... It was fun searching the house. It has been a little tricky convincing Lilly that they can't all be opened in one day but I can always re-wrap them!

I really like the book idea-just not the idea of wrapping all of them. I do not love wrapping presents.
