Little Dumpty the elf has been having a load of fun at night when all is quiet and still. Each morning Grace has been waking up to find what he’s been up too each evening and she gets so excited.
On his first morning she awoke to find that he had climbed up to the top of our TV and was peering over holding a chocolate Christmas bauble.
Day two found him stuck head first in the cookie jar, he’d been caught in the act but must have got a cookie or two first as there were crumbs!
Then this morning she had to really search to find him, he had cuddled up with the Santa bears and was giving a little teddy a big hug.
Gosh knows what mischief he will get up too this evening?!
The other excitement in our house in the morning it the opening of advent calendars, Grace is very lucky this year and has two! The first is a traditional chocolate one and she is a chocolate nut so that goes down well. Then this year I have made a range of little notes with Christmas activities, experiences and some let her chose a little gift from under the tree.
So far she has selected two gifts, a Santa hat headband and also a reindeer cushion. On Friday she got to decorate this little tree for her bedroom complete with twinkle lights, bargain of the century, the tree cost $1.99 at the Warehouse!
Then this morning the advent calendar said to enjoy a family Christmas movie complete with treats, so when Craig and Grace were shopping this morning some popcorn and Jaffa’s got thrown in the trolley and this afternoon we enjoyed watching “The Santa Clause”. It was a relaxing end to a busy weekend. Today we enjoyed a picnic at a local park which had fab wee model trains that you could ride on, it was the preschools Christmas party and even Santa made an appearance. I can’t believe that I’d never been to see the trains before, it’s only in the next suburb and was great fun, the only downer was all three of us ended up with hay fever. We’ll defiantly be heading back over Summer though!

Can just see Grace looking for Dumpty – totally different to my lot with Elfie. They do love having their own little trees in their rooms though.
Oh Dumpty has been having fun. Love the look of him as well and love that Grace chose his name. It sure looks like he is going to have so much fun at your house. I loved the look on Miss G’s face when she opened the parcel and found him. Love the reindeer bikkies in the post below with the pretzel ears. The Martha Stewart ones look fab, as the ones in the Countdown mag really didn’t do teh concept justice to be honest. Her little tree looks so cute.
Where are the trains, they look like lots of fun?
