Princess Chia: Our Advent calendar

We made an Advent calendar to count down the days till Christmas. Ours is made from toilet paper rolls, cereal boxes, electrical tape, cooking string and stickers, because we didn't have enough toilet paper rolls. We saved them but someone threw them out so we made some.
It's so fun to see what we will get. The other day we had erasers, I let Dylan choose the bunny, and Amelie choose the kitten, and I got the hamster!
And we get time tickets. Soon we will have a tickle fight with daddy, we already played dress-ups with mummy when Michelle was here, and later we will bake cookies, uh yeah, and do other things. Tomorrow I'm going to open the one and see what we get! I hope it's erasers again!

Christmas Open House

Every year we have held an "Open house" around Christmas time for our friends and neighbours. Here are a few photos from this year.

Mia & Jun-kun

I like this photo cos you can see Mia poking her head out, she's not supposed to be there, but she's checking on Yuya to make sure he's not hurt for real. :)
