    My niece got the chainsaw today, yesterday she got a lego man with a loud hailer and hard hat!
    I got 2 behind one door (love German calendars!) Nougats, one cream and one nut.

    Bit more boring today, DS got some binoculars and a hat for the man he got yesterday, DD got a basket and youngest DS got a choc bell.
  • DS had the entire contents of his zhu zhu calendar yesterday and one chocolate from his Thomas calendar.

    Today he had five chocolates from his Thomas calendar.

    That will teach me to leave them where he can reach them (he is almost 3).

    Today I had a chocolate almond! Hubby had a lion! The advent tree decoration was a little hut/shed? And the kitten had a fairy.

    Today DS had a map and a walkie talkie for his man.
    DD had a blue box - beginning to see why the zhuzhu one was so cheap
    youngest DS had a star choc.

    I'm looking forward to day 12 on DS because its a huge one so must be something good.

    I open mine in the evening as it's an interactive e-advent card that follows real-time & I like to see all the lights on in the windows :D

    Yesterday, my window was an activity - I got to make a snowman & it's been put up by the Christmas tree in the village square :D

    Same as building with lego, and I got a small lego Christmas Tree :)
  • I got a Lindt calendar but not to inpress as there are no pictures. I just got a small bit of choc.
