...And we spent it checking out the Christmas lights around town. It's one of the terrific things about this time of year in the States. Some people go all out whilst others make a statement by just having a blow-up Grinch on their front lawn. I've heard that it is truly amazing in the snow, but as we didn't have a white Christmas this year, it's something I have to leave that to my imagination.Alex really loved looking at the giant "Frosty the Snowman" and "Santa Claus" figures. Adding two things to her burgeoning vocabulary.
Afterwards we went to a Christmas carol service where Alex was mesmerized when the lights went out and the candles lit up. I'd really like to take her to a Carols by Candlelight in Australia - perhaps when she's older though and can stand to sit in one place longer than five minutes.
We also finished the Advent calendar tonight so no more "chocolate in calendar" for Alex. She wouldn't let us throw it out though and insisted on hanging it back up. I wonder if she will realise it is gone tomorrow? She did go down without a peep though, so perhaps she has been good enough for a visit from Santa. We'll see...
Merry Christmas everyone!

I loved checking out the christmas lights as well!
I had a special Dora advent calender that was filled with chocolate. It was very yummy!
