Advent Countdown...

Hello!  My family and me are doing the Advent Countdown.  Do you know what that is?  We have these cards that tell us everyday what to do on each day.  If you want to, you can do it with us.  Here's the list for you...
Day 5      Do something special for a family member that makes their life easier.
Day 6     Watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' together with your family in your PJs and eat popcorn
Day 7     Make/decorate a Yule Log (my Papa drilled holes in a log for candles and stuff)
Day 9     Make Salt Dough Ornaments for the tree (we have a snowflake cookie cutter for ours)
Day 10   Paint salt dough ornaments and put some ribbon on and hang on a tree

That's some days for you.  I can give you some more days later.  I am getting tired of standing here with Mana.  Did you see the picture of that white teddy bear?  On Day 2, we shopped for a toy to buy for someone who doesn't have no presents.  At my school, we have a Christmas stocking and we buyed three matchbox cars for it.  Mana buyed the white bear for me to take to the fire station to give to some kid when there is an emergency.  BUT, I want to keep the bear now and don't want to give it away.  It is really soft.

Oh, know what?  The tooth fairy came again! Actually, she was too busy acause I lost my tooth on Thanksgiving and she didn't come.  The next morning, there was a note from her!! She didn't forget to come - she just was taking a break acause it was a holiday.  And know what?  She brought me this golden coin - it's a dollar.  I know other people don't have these.  The note said my tooth was very special and that's why I got a special coin. I'm going to take it to show and tell on Friday to show my teacher and class!  I'm going to take the note too!!
