Today Donovan woke up long before his sister. He was happy to eat breakfast and snuggle with me, and didn't really get into the advent stuff until sister was there to share. He did notice the little pink tree, and he said, "A tiny tree? Tiny like Donovan?" So cute =) They loved the new ornaments, especially the big blue jewels. They've been big on jewels since the scavenger hunt at Serenity's birthday, often going on treasure hunts, so these were a great Target find! Also, the My Little Pony ornaments made them very happy. They shared them equitably, Twilight for Serenity, Apple Jack for Donovan, Pinkie Pie for Eric and Fluttershy for me. And Rarity is extra. =) Eric hung lights on the Mermaid Mansion before he had to leave for work.
The rest of the day Serenity had school, and Dad kept Donovan since I had a doctor's appointment (nothing new to announce there, we're still doing great and she seems to be in no hurry.) I got a few errands done, picking up yet more craft supplies for the party that may not happen if we are iced in this weekend, some more decorations so I can finally put together Starfish's nursery, and a few winter weather necessities. I also picked up a star and some lights to add to the tree in the kids room. After I got the kids Eric took them to dance and I did some whirlwind Amazon unboxing and present wrapping. Got everything hidden again before they got home, so job well done even if the packages are cringe-worthy =)
