Advent calendar

Here is how we have been counting down our days 'til Christmas...

December 1 -
Steve, our Christmas Elf, introduced himself.  He said that he would be keeping his eye on both Poppy and Sam and reporting back to Santa.  While he's here, he also plans to provide lots of fun activities to get ready for Christmas.  Today's idea was to watch "The Polar Express" before bed.  Poppy would not take her eyes off the tv screen for a second.  And Sam couldn't get enough of the popcorn...

December 2 - 
Poppy receives the first gift of Christmas!  She was awoken by a reindeer's bell resting on her bed.  She couldn't believe that it looked just like the bell the boy gets in the Polar Express.  The note in our advent calendar said that Poppy and Sam could open a large gift waiting for them under the tree.  Would you believe that it was the Polar Express train set?!  Poppy could barely believe it herself.  She couldn't wait to get to school that day so that she could tell Ty all about her new train.  And then Ty had to come over to see for himself...
(And Poppy is pretty sure that Steve, our elf, lives in the little village under our tree.)

December 3-
Aunt Jeanna gets to come home early, just in time for Christmas!!!

Love all of it especially the train set. Colin was a bit freaked by the Polar Express so for now, it's a no go. He would have loved the popcorn also like Sam.
