Here are the girls with their advent calendars for this December. Something new, we've never had toy advent calendars before. They were super excited & have been having so much fun opening a door every morning to find a new piece of their princess collection. Each day they get a few pieces that in the end will create the whole castle full of people/things. There's a princess, a queen, a prince, a king & all their castle accessories. Fun stuff! {gotta love Marin's cheesy smile!}

 Gary working hard to assemble the castles...

 Maeve eating crayons again! You'd think she'd stop after figuring out not one, but many times that they do not taste good! But no, she continues to chew the heck out of them. She has fun coloring with the girls though. She's content just as long as she's doing what they're doing. She's such a big girl! This night she colored while the girls, me & Gary made their paper countdown to Christmas chains...

 Here is Margaux with the start of her chain. She even made a pattern! She was so proud!!

 Marin did a great job as well. She was really excited to be able to use the stapler by herself to make her chain. She worked so hard to make it just right.

It seems like their chains are getting small already! Hard to believe that Christmas is only a few weeks away already. LOVE this time of year. So much fun. Tonight is our neighborhood ugly sweater party... Gary wore his sweater to work! ha! Photos to come! xoxo
