I hope your feeling better soon armygirl!

Today dd received some Christmas chocolates which was very happy about. I received a Christmas tree mini cake pan which is AWESOME! Comes with decorating stencil too. I learned this weekend that Christmas will be at my house this year (!) so am going to be amping up my baking. Thanks so much! Pics of everything we received so far.

Day 4 for me was for the baby - 2 mesh fesh food feeders! I had one with my first and loved it.

what do you put in the mesh feeders?

Your girls are adorable! A proud big sister! What's the age gap between your girls, if you don't mind me asking?

I told Dh that I saw the Starbucks advent calendar was on for 29.99$ (according to the Starbucks Canada Facebook page) and asked him to get it for me after work. He went there and there was only one left which had a broken seal on one side but it looks like everything is still there. He took it to the cash and it still scanned up as 45$ (so over 50$ with the tax) and he said it was supposed to be on for 30$. The cashier wasn't aware of the sale even though the new price was written on a small chalk board on the Christmas item display. After the sale was confirmed they punched in something to make it 40% off instead of the 33% it was advertised as being. So Dh said with the tax it was barely over 30$. I shared the first 5 days of chocolates with him and hung up the first 5 ornaments on the tree.

He also went to toys r us to get the ninja turtles pizza oven for the kids. It was regular 70$ on sale for 35$. It will only be ds1 cooking with it under adult supervision of course but he has to make and share the pizzas with ds2.

since neither Starbucks nor toys r us had any large bags Dh brought the advent calendar and pizza oven home. We then took both kids to the mall where we got ds2 a new pair of snow pants for 16$ and a new pair of extra long mittens for 10$ (which is great because his jacket sleeves always seem to ride up exposing his wrists when he moves around). Dh found a Michone walking dead glass ball Christmas ornament at hmv that said it was 12.99$ bus scanned as 10$. We also got groceries which was the main reason for the shopping trip today.

I had some mesh feeders for ds2 when he first started eating solids. We used it for bananas, kiwi, oranges, pineapple... He was wanting to eat "real" solid foods instead of the puréed baby food and of course he was wanting to feed himself. They were great but were really annoying to clean since the food gets smashed into the netting. I would still recommend them especially for babies wanting/learning to independently feed themselves solid foods.

Day 3 and 4 for the girls were Shopkin fun books! They scampered off with them so quickly I couldn't get a picture.

Day 5 was a "Grow a Facecloth" for each girl- they LOVED them!

Day 4 for me was Russell Stover chocolates and Day 5 was a pack of Milkbones and a bag of gourmet jelly beans.

Thank you to both my buddies! The gifts have been just perfect.
