Jezebel's Surprise Advent Package Train

[Peachykeen2007]

on the 13th day of Christmas my Snuffalufagus gave to us

a box of Ritz Bitz Sandwiches for Riley's school snacks & 75 Wilton Cupcake Liners






**also me and my son dropped off the 4 kids presents this morning at his school and his teacher looked inside the bags and said OMG I think you spent WAY too much, I showed her the receipts and the look on her face was priceless as she asked how the heck did you do that......as I was about to tell her, Riley pipes up and yells COUPONS!!!! Oh boy I love him**

My daughter has decided that next year, she will do the advent gift exchange with her best friend. Apparently, her friend is a little jealous of all her gifts, lol.

Next up are the pics from my daughter Danielle's gifts courtesy of Coupmama!

Day 11 brought her an Aero Chocolate Bar which she actually shared with her brother, so that was nice of her.

Day 12 was Soft Lips Lip Balm in a Honey Dew Flavour. YUM!!! I might have to try this out. That is my favourite fruit!

Day 13 was a Kit Kat chocolate bar which surprisingly is still on the table, lol. (Not for long, I'm sure!)

Day 13 for me brought another glade plug in. thanks so much wendy!!! sorry this is short and sweet but am trying to shake baby out of me......LOL

Some pics! Needed to share all the awesomeness I/we are unwrapping! Most of DD;s gifts disappear off to school with her before I can know it! She is so thrilled with everything! So much to read and craft and do! Thank-you Gwennad!!!!

Okay, my turn! Once again, my gifts come courtesy of Coupmama! Thanks again for the awesome gifts. I REALLY LOVE my gift from day 13. I wanted one so bad! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Day 11- was a Super Bingo Lottery Scratch Ticket. I would've loved to say I won $50,000 but surprisingly, I didn't, lol. I did mangae to win $3 though so I'll swap it for a new one and maybe that'll be the big winner!

Day 12 was a big container of peanuts. Honey Roasted, Toffee Flavoured, and Saloon style, or something like that. I took them to work me and they were a huge hit. We all know how many calories there are in nuts so I certainly didn't want to leave them at home where I'd eat the whole thing! Apparently Will Power is something I DO NOT possess!

Day 13 brought me a nice new Slow Cooker Recipe Book! I'm so excited about this because I'm so bored of my regular meals so I want to try new things but also need them to be quick and easy. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks again Coupmama!!!

BTW, if anyone has any quick, easy, yummy weeknight dinner menu ideas or recipes, please pass them on to me. Thank you in advance!!!

Ok, so not train related at all, I need to pick some brains a little. I'm getting married in June (with having Alexa, it made things easier to deal with when I just referred to Don as my husband because people assume and called him that, we rolled with it, and then it stuck! Lol). So...we're getting married at a resort in Northern Ontario.
There have already been 3 weddings up there between our friends and their siblings etc which makes it great because we know everyone will have a great time! The reasons we chose it is because its pretty much half way between both sides of our friends and family, it's really low key (I did the big white wedding in a previous life with my ex), and most importantly, this place will be SUPER family friendly. There will be appproximately 22 kids out of (104 guests) and with the exception of 4, they'll all be under the age of 18 months! !!

The place is very outdoorsy which is great...fishing, hiking, etc but no tvs in the rooms etc. There's not much in terms of amentities in town either. The closest would be Sudbury which is about an hour away. So I'm putting together gift bags for all if the rooms. Bottled water, snacks etc (6 months will hopefully be enough time to score some good deals! ). The tricky part for me is the kids. In their bags, I figure water, juice boxes; baby wipes are good to include. Any suggestions on snacks or activities to include? Little kids would like bubbles, right? I'm kinda clueless about that age. Also, I'm worried about what if it rains! Any suggestions are appreciated! !!!

I love seeing everyone's gifts. I know we're all busy which is why I seem to post my pics every 3 days. Hopefully there will be more posted today. I'm home all day doing laundry, dishes, vacuuming, and wrapping. Somehow I don't think I'll get it all done!

that's true, I never thought of that, lol. Still awesome though seeing all the older people do it. Especially that really old man. Everyone wants to have fun, no matter how old we get!

I know the pics are huge, but that just means you can judge my dirty floors with a clearer perspective!
(Not a fan of the original wood flooring, although it apparently increases the value of your home ...?)

We have it too, and I am not a huge fan either

Oh I love that pickle tray. I don't know if it was asked but would like to find out where you buddy found it

Pickle tray was bought at Walmart (housewares section next to the corning ware)
