I think Elly started asking me "is it Christmas soon?" since about the middle of the year. She was so excited for Christmas this year mainly for the following reasons...
1. She could remember how many pressies she got last year!
2. She knew that we WERE going to spend Christmas in Adelaide with Granny, Pop and the rest of the family and...
3. It probably didn't help that I started too early this year using "Santa" as my bribe(I have his direct number ;) to help get me through my bad morning sickness earlier in the year (desperate times, call for desperate measures).
So luckily I found the cute advent calendar that granny gave us one christmas to begin counting down the days first thing every morning...
We also took our annual Santa photo. Can you tell how excited El was to take a pic with Santa?! Noah, not so much. But it is a big improvement from last years. Last christmas Noah completely freaked out and refused to have his pic taken. I'm thinking by photo no. 3 next year, we should have the annual Santa pic perfected.
Then the whole week leading up to Christmas, I had little reindeers popping up randomly around the place (thanks to Santa's gift they got for taking a pic with them). This is when it sure began to look a lot like christmas!
I LOVE the christmas season!
