Christmas Countdown — Dec. 24

We are excited to open the last, big door on the paper Advent calendar! The picture inside was of a decorated and lit Christmas tree. Starboy waited so long to know what was behind that door!

At breakfast, Starboy got to mix his own eggs with a new egg beater.

He requested heart eggs for this special day.

We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house, and he and Grandma were airplanes....

...and Techman set up Grandpa's 60-year-old electric train.

We didn't open many gifts, but Starboy was delighted to play endlessly with his new Magna-Tiles that Grandpop and Sitti sent from Michigan. Highly recommend.
