Wild Card: Had friends over to swim until we couldn’t swim anymore. And we started reading the Christmas Carol. We are so loving it. Just a chunk a day. I thought it would go over the top of the little guys heads – but they are right in there, with comments and questions. Lovely.

Christmas Carol: Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent

Christmas Preparation: Made all the gifts for our friends and wrapped them up good to go! Baked and baked… a massive baking day!

Bella Dia Advent Craft: Felted Wool Mitten Ornaments. We didn’t do this I am all felted out. But we did have a treasure hunt for mittens instead… we found them creeping out of drawers, we found them amongst the pots!

Wild Card: The adult persons left the kid people with friends and went out like adult people for lunch – wonderful!!! Everywhere was quiet and empty, I guess there was a last minute dash somewhere, but not in my space!

Advent Day 24: Wednesday

Joke:

Why is Santa like a bear on Christmas Eve?

Because he’s sooty.

Game Played: Cluedo. That’s it, we have survived the twenty four day game challenge. I can’t believe we even own twenty-four games!
