Advent calendar

[pne]

Stella made a cross-stitch advent calendar for Amy:

And she managed to finish it before December, even with the whole house thing going on! (She's been at it since at least this summer.)

We did that, too! And the last ornament (hung on the 24th) was Santa Claus.

Last year I finally bought a Playmobil advent calendar where each box is a little figure that goes into the scene. You're meant to give it to your child to add to their Playmobil collection (and buy the next year's calendar the next year), but since I don't have any kids, I just packed it back up to use this year.

Amy would like one of those Playmobil advent calendars :)

Stella decided to buy a little Playmobil box and divide up the contents herself and hang them on the home-made advent calendar - she figured she'd get about twelve "portions" out of the items inside, and then use something else (sweets, perhaps) for the other twelve.
