Wrapping up the Advent

If there is one thing to be learned this year it is that Anna Kate is not much of a morning person.  Her hair is a little wild but with a positive spin it is full of body when it wants to be so there is hope.
They have loved the advent calendar every morning and it helped so much with counting down the days to Christmas.  Aunt Cindy does a wonderful job putting together all the treats and collecting through the year.
So on to the last few days.
We started alternating who opens each day and the grumpiness of the child not opening coupled with general not being a morning person makes for great photos.

I forget what they got but Elizabeth is thrilled!

Day 21, getting closer...

This is a wonderful example of Anna's crazy hair in the morning.

She never fails to be happy for the present of the day

Day 22, they must have slept in because they are both smiles!

haha, Elizabeth's disgust at a note and not being able to read it !!!
"oh noooooo, a note! I don't even know what it says!"
it was pretty funny

Day 23
They get pretty good at taking these photos by the end

Yummmm, more candy...these are always well received.

Day 24, Christmas Eve, the last day...sad for them, but you can see the
sisterly love at this point.

Nail polish!!  They are loving this nail polish stuff.
The great thing about this nail polish, it's clear with glitter so it doesn't have to be perfect and they can do it on their own.


Here is an example of how proficient Anna Kate is getting.
Aunt Cindy (and her elf Kate) is so awesome for having done the advent calendar again this year.
I actually just sent it home with Kate to be refilled for the next year.  At that time, Elizabeth will be in the middle of 1st grade and Anna Kate will be 4 years old. 
Oh how time flies
All the Christmas photos are next to be posted and I hope to get that done by tomorrow! 
Happy Birthday to Lewis!!!
The best daddy ever!!! We do love him!
