This year we got our act together (ie a month of Henry saying daily ' have you ordered the advent calender yet???). We were going to get the normal Lego Advent calender but Henry's eagle eyes spotted the Star Wars one (his two great loves combined) and offered to use his pocket money to pay the difference in price. So order we did. And I let hi have the box two days before first official opening to let the excitement build.
And at 6:30 am on Dec first, Henry arrived in our bed in tears. he had ripped the instructions for the very first one and everything was RUINED!!! A bleary eyed look from his mother, a piece of sticky tape and all was well in the world again. Phew!
Well worth documenting. And with a gazillion Christmas themed challenges out there, I loved the Get Creative challenge to use something that you will be wrapping your presents in this year. I have used a bit of Christmas paper and of course my current addiction, twine, which will get a good run this Christmas.
And I am in love with the numbered tape, I picked up a gorgeous tin with 4 rolls of different number patterns in a closing down sale (Pepe's paperie, I will miss you...). Think I will have to go back and hope they still have the alpha equivalent.
Have a greada - hbatters are gng n kebard and thas aken farn wr this.
Translated-have a great day- the batteries are going on the keyboard and has taken far too long to write this. (and this is the gibberish that it gives me...) xxx
