Counting the days until Christmas

Bella is so excited for Christmas, she wakes up every morning excited to open the next door of her advent calendar. She also loves to find the elf that is hiding in a new place everyday, this is because at night he goes and tells Santa if she is being naughty or nice. Bella of course, is always nice!
We were lucky that we got to go see Santa and Bella asked him for a Dora doll and a chicken??? Santa looked at me for the answer to that. Not that I had one! Bella is talking up a storm and her vocabulary is increasing by leaps and bounds. She is really into dancing lately, we signed her up for ballet class and she loves it. She especially loves to dance to Christmas carols.
Bella is learning a lot at school. In fact we were driving home the other day and Bella told me she could make a menorah out of her hands and she was singing the dradel song! She cracks me up, she really didn't understand why we don't have a menorah at our house.
She loves looking at the Christmas lights and telling me how beautiful they are. I am constantly amazed at all her questions about things. She is keeping us on her toes and I look forward to seeing her reaction Christmas morning!
