Advent calendar

5th - Emer got something incomprehensible, donated a plush Disney frog
4th - Linnea got part of a crane, they donated a weird metal thingie we got given as an ornament years ago
3rd - Emer got ???, both donated an alphabet thingie
2nd - Linnea got a sword-wielding person, donated a plush Rockit frog
1st - Emer got a snowman, Linnea donated a plush Disney frog

Emer's getting a bit better at donating, but it IS hard. I'm trying to help them choose things they don't use much, or things they will get replaced quite soon as new things pour in from all around. We can't really affect the volume of stuff they have by getting rid of 24 items but it's a start. At least the 24 things coming in are tiny Lego things, not huge plushies.

Of course, we really really lack decent Lego storage. I'm considering a couple of shallow Really Useful Boxes with inner trays. But that seems so extravagant.

The item on the 3rd is a skateboard and ramp and today's is a drum kit! (Theo has the same advent calendar sent by his aunt in Australia)

Aha, I came here to say the same thing (minus the Australian aunt :-))
