Countdown to Christmas- First Day of Advent 2009

At playgroup this morning the start of Advent was celebrated by the children making Christmas cards, Kellyn did one with prints of snowmen decorated with glitter.Later on at home after tea we sat round the table with the advent calenders, I explained to Kellyn what advent calenders were for and why we have them, adding to his steadily growing excitement as Christmas approaches. Both Kellyn and Ceienna opened their Calenders. The Count Down has begun.
