SnowMuch's annual advent calendar thread - what did you get in yours today?

Ds and I are having our annual advent calendar competition where we have guessed what is in all the windows. One point for something you guessed but on the wrong day, two points for the right thing on the right day.

Today I had a decoration (1 point), ds also had a decoration (no points, as he didn't guess decoration for any day). He also has the Playmobil Knights tournament advent calendar and had a king person in it! Smile

Playmobil Knights! Wow!

BIL got the dcs the lego one and playmobil one as their christmas present so ds1 got a lego firefighter and dd got a playmobil letter box. Ds2 doesn't have one because he is only 8 months old and I couldn't be arsed to find stuff to put in one. Maybe I should have got him a chocolate one so I could help him out Grin.

I lopve the sound of a kights one though! I didn't know they did one, dd would have adored it.

Hi snowmuch :)

DS has the Playmo one, but I got up for work at the crack of dawn this morning so didn't see him open it.

I shall guess at a playmo post box Grin

The knights one is actually from a couple of years ago, but I managed to get one from Amazon. I knew it was the one he wanted. Smile

Well I put DD's calendar together so I know anyway, but today she had a play-doh rolling pin.

Directions to find the Christmas tree for in their room, and choc coins. I do my own the night before dependent on weather, energy etc.

The tree is pink and they love it. Batteries are flat, so may have them tomorrow, under supervision in case DD2 tries to eat them.

When is good to set up the scenery? I have a feeling it will get destroyed before the big day.

Hi SnowMuch!

DS has the Playmobil dinosaur one too - he got an 'alcheologist' who he has called Oliver. Oliver has already been on several adventures around the house and had a wee in the river on the cardboard scenery Xmas Hmm.

DD chose the Playmobil princess wedding one which she admits is a bit sappy (plus we already have several Playmobil wedding cakes!) but she was pleased with her princess today.

We also have a hanging one with pockets - today was DS's turn and he got a rubber in the shape of a frog which he was VERY pleased with.
