It's beginning to look a lot like....

CHRISTMAS!!!!

On Sunday was the first day of the count down, until Christmas. We can't say Santa as Laurelea has an acute fear of him. So we tell her that the Elf leaves her advent gifts. She is content with that and more often that not calls her Shelf, rather than Elf.

 Here is the first hiding spot.

 L's advent calendar

 "what for me?"

Getting dressed is a daily ordeal around our house. L was excited to pick out her Christmas tree outfit...

We got out the ornaments and decorated the tree...

 L loved putting all the ornaments on the tree

 And she even put the star up on the top
