We have an advent calendar that my mother-in-law gave the girls a couple of years ago. It's a really nice wooden box, about 12" x 12" square and about 2.5" deep - each door covers a box that is about 2" x 2" x 2" (photo at left). Isn't it cute? And look at those BABIES!!! Oh my gracious! Anyway...the first year, Grammie filled all the boxes - since then, it's been a team effort - Grammie, Boop and I each buy advent calendar stuff. 
Some things won't fit in the little 2 x 2 x 2 boxes - like...oh....the shirts at left. :) The girls love the days that they open the box and have a little note saying, "Bag 5" [or some other number]. These shirts, from Boop, were in Bag 5 - on December 5 (the bags are numbered to equal the day to help their crazy mom). Cute little shirts, aren't they?
Boop came over one Thursday evening and did a gingerbread house with us. Well, she and I watched while the girls did the gingerbread house. We have another one that we'll do on Christmas Eve.
While she was here we tried on Christmas dresses to make certain everyone's dresses, tights and shoes fit.
And here's Katherine. By the way, all the girls have had haircuts since these were taken. 
Here is Bitsy in her dress, showing off her little purse. She's so cute!
And soooooo silly!
