its the first day of december. i had a little helper constantly counting the days til. i was lucky that my sister had given ariana an advent calendar. disney princesses with chocolates behind each door. on one of my clothing loops yesterday, they posted barnes & nobles had 50% off lego advent calendars. i called the store to put a playmobil princess wedding one on hold. we went all the way over to redwood city to pick it up, they had closed all the nearby b&n a couple of years ago. i picked one up for ariana's classmate, and sent one to my niece & nephew in florida. so now the question is - what door number do you start with? door #1 as day number 1, or door #24 and countdown to how many days left til xmas? ariana noticed on the lego calendar that door #24 was the biggest, using 2 flaps to open up. where on the flat chocolate one, it didnt matter where you start since all the doors were the same size. we went with opening door #1 to go by the dates. behind #1 there was a princess lego, and at one point i thought maybe this should be the finale. this is so much better than the candies. maybe i'll use the chocolate one as a countdown - or let ariana practice her math subtraction skills every night.
