Advent Calendar Update

Hello Friends!

How’s is your December treating you? It’s been a cold and snowy one for us which just means more time snuggled up with a blanket, a good movie, and some hot cocoa! And maybe a few christmas movies thrown into the mix, after all it’s almost Christmas. 

I thought I’d update you on how the Advent Gifts are going for the boyfriend and if you missed that post click here and get caught up. Well let me tell ya, it’s going a lot better than I thought it would! My boyfriend is super picky and hard to surprise but I was actually able to pull it off and it totally threw him off guard (it also freaked him out how I was able to do it without his knowledge, hehehe). And best of all, he absolutely LOVES it. Loves it! Every morning when we wake up the first thing he says to me is, “Presents?” So we start every morning out with him opening a door of his Lego Advent Calendar and once that’s built we move on to the wrapped presents. I asked him what his favorite gift has been so far and he immediately pointed to his Lego Advent Calendar, typical little boy. Other than that, he says his favorite is the Poo-Pourii spray. And let me just say it’s MY favorite, as well. When you live in a small house and don’t have a fan in the bathroom, smells travel. But when you use the spray, it smells so Christmas-y throughout our home. 

Oh I have to share that we did have a small mishap with the presents and my sneaky dog… It seems that little miss was not thrilled that she wasn't getting to unwrap a daily present and one day I came home from work to find one of the little bows I had tied around the packages was sitting on our bed. I was super confused but ran immediately to the tree and found one little tiny present to be missing. It turned out that my sly fox for a dog took the gift that had a lip balm duo in it and opened and ate the wrapping and packaging! She didn't eat the lip balm though(?). My boyfriend thought she had gotten a lip balm off of my vanity and he set it on there for safe keeping. Silly puppy. I’m on the hunt for one more gift to replace the stolen one but I’m sure I’ll think of something soon. 

So tell me, friends, what have you been doing in the days leading up to Christmas? Do you have advent calendars you’ve been enjoying? What are some holiday traditions you and your family have? Leave some comments and let me know; I’d love to get to know you some more!

Enjoy your day and stay warm
