advent?

[TPeers]

We get lego calendars for the girls - at the moment we are about to have the battle royal between the 'city' calendar boy and his 'snowballs' and the 'pirate' calendar pirate with his cutlass.

Yes, both kids home from school - what fun!

I bought chocolate coins ready for my eldest last week, but my middle boy is allergic to dairy so have to find some alternative for his. I think the baby won't mind this year!

Depending on how allergic, you could try the dark chocolates in a tube (they are circular and wrapped in foil) from Marks and Spencer perhaps. Used these last year for mine and they worked a treat!

I made my advent calender a bit like this one but with a Christmas tree instead of a Santa.
