Advent 2023 - Day Nineteen

Welcome to Day Nineteen of the Advent Calendar opening.  The weather is pretty bad today and very dark outside, so the photos are definitely not the best!  

Today Madeline has joined Mary Ellen to open the calendar.

The look for the door

It is up high so Mary Ellen opens it for Madeline

She wonders what will be inside

Oh this looks exciting

A sleigh for the the little horse to pull 

Santa looks pleased and so does Madeline.

So cute.  I wonder what will be next?

Madeline looks rather dishevelled by it all with her

off the shoulder look... oops!

 

Advent 2023 - Day Six

Mary Ellen, my lovely 1969 Dungarees Sasha is opening today's door.

She spends a little time looking for it,

not realising it was right beside her at the top of the tree.

She opens it up and takes out the gift.

Oh that looks red and white!

It is Father Christmas!

Mary Ellen is delighted to have Father Christmas in her gift today.

She puts his accessories on

He is ready to go on the little scene with his list of good children.

There he goes.

I wonder what else we will find behind the little windows?

Thank you Mary Ellen.

Advent 2020: Day Twenty One

Sweet Mary Ellen chose green for Advent Day Twenty One.

This beautiful girl looks good in green as do a lot of redheads.

What have you got there Peggy Sue?  Mary Ellen asked.

This is our little Elf.  Peggy Sue tells Mary Ellen.  Would you like to hold him?

Yes please.  Mary Ellen replies.

The girls head off chatting... I wonder where they will put the little elf?

Do you think we should get him to spy on the boys?
