  • Vlogmas 2022, Day 4. We share all of our Advent Calendars for 2022! We found some really fantastic calendars this time around and we are really looking forward to the mysteries that await inside! One little oops-- Jessica missed the fine print in Bailey's Etsy order and accidentally got her a 12 day calendar, so we are doing hers a little differently this time. We also really wanted to show you how cute Luke was when recording our Vlogmas intro, so we included that today! All of our videos are closed captioned and always family friendly.

    when the entire family waited patiently for Luke to finish his thought (and didn't roll their eyes or ridicule when he didn't have anything else to say)....a small moment but SO important ♥️

    Maybe for Parker's calender you can put stickers over the numbers and then re-number them all mixed up style so he can get that enjoyment.

    Bailey should alternate her advent calendars. It might be a little confusing, but I think it would be fun and space out the games a little so you guys have time to play and enjoy each one.

    A fun game to play during holiday times, not specific to holidays but I’ve only played it during Christmas when visiting family/family visiting us, is New Market!
    New market is a British game that I won’t try to explain here but if you look it up it’s a generally simple game that only requires 2 packs of cards(you only really use 1 deck) some coin “currency”(it can be real $ coins, fame money, M&M’s, rocks, basically anything) and a “kitty” which is just a small bowl to put in a pot of “money” that the winner of a round wins!
    It’s really fun and quick to learn, even for kids! I would recommend that Luke, and Duncan work in teams with an older player because it can be difficult for the younger folk for the first few games.

    Jessica, I looked up Bailey’s advent Cottage Cove calendar and they did have one for 24 days (now sold out). You’re not going crazy. If each of the items are in an organza bag as described, it’s fun to hang the bags from a ribbon draped across the room or on the wall. I have refillable bags that are tied with a ribbon to close the bag and then each bag has another ribbon to tie on the Main ribbon. Looking forward to seeing what Bailey gets. She’s so happy all the time that I’m sure she’ll enjoy whatever happens. Loved Luke’s “Thank you, Dada”. He’s adorable 😍

Advent is super big in my house as well and we all search for the most unique one every year but of course we can’t get them all so I love seeing more advent opening. We have a Star Wars Lego, a Pokémon card one, a Harry Potter candy one, a toddler dr set and then our dogs we got from Costco. We also got two family ones to enjoy together a game one similar to Bailey’s and the Bonnie maman jam one. I also enjoy searching for my number and don’t like when the numbers are in order.
