And so it Begins

Advent!  Tomorrow!  But it's technically today, in fact, because it's after midnight and I'm still polishing up our calendar for the month.  Thanks in part to all of your awesome suggestions, I actually have more ideas than we have days, which I suppose is not a bad thing.

The "temporary, makeshift, one-time" advent calendar that I made for us two years ago is now about to experience its third season of use.  I intended to make something better after the first year and didn't, but now that it has lasted this long I almost feel like it's too much a part of our tradition to let it go.  (Or I'm justifying my inability to get it together enough to make a better one.  You decide.):

In other news, Bojey has finally reached that all-important childhood milestone: the realization that wearing a diaper on one's head is funny:
 
Looking back, I see that Ninna was there when I started this blog almost two years ago, which would make her almost exactly the same age Bojey is now.  Sounds about right.

Love the advent idea! So fun! And I love the joy on your girl's face in the pics. BEAUTIFUL! (And worth the expense of a diaper-heehee).

Heather--no worries about the diaper expense...when she was done, she immediately took it off her head and put it on her bum to get ready for bed. I guess she had no concerns about cross-contamination!

MaryAnne and Jill--I know, she was cracking me up.
