Hi I'm Katelyn's advent fairy...and I'm retiring after this year...it was a short career only 4 years! You see we have always had an advent calendar but never a fairy....Until we moved to Germany and Katelyn's friends introduced her to many new traditions, this being one of them. Germans do Christmas right... I think they invented Christmas.
Why am I retiring...she leaves for college next fall...she will be 18 soon...an adult!!! She disagrees.....
she looks forward to her daily gifts. This year thanks to Pinterest I became craftier and wrapped them all and numbered them. It's tough coming up with 24 little items....I told her this year I'm going out with a bang!

You totally rock for doing it as long as you did! I've never done that..lol
This is such a good tradition! I love it! I can see why Katelyn doesn't want to give it up!
It's a GREAT tradition. But all things must come to an end. You have to grow up and move on. She can pull it out and begin again, when she has children.
A great idea the advent fairy. Even though it won't be the same I think the fairy still can do this while she is away at school. :) xo
Advent Fairy - now that's a good idea!
I like your new header too!
I love that! What a wonderful memory for her and I know a lot of fun for you!
I feel it is my duty to go to Germany at some point during the holidays.
Happy Friday!

I want an advent fairy!! :)
I like this idea. We always did the advent calander when we lived in Germany. I wish we'd kept it up. It was a fun thing to do!
My daughter loves opening her "Schäfchen" every day. We have 23 sheep and one shepherd. Many days she just receives a sweet treat but we also put in lip gloss, charms for her charm bracelet,or something funny.
Usually I can barely get her out of bed and ready for school on time, but in December she wakes promptly to see what surprise is waiting for her.
What a cute idea!
Hey Advent Fairy...my girls both live away from home but they got a calendar with a verse and chocolate for each day. You're never too old : ) I agree with you on the Germans and Christmas!
You are the super fairy! I am grinning, we never do more then the Advent calendar!
You know how sentimental I hang on my traditions. Gifts every day? Woah!
Can you fly over here???
You are SO much fun. NO wonder she doesn't want it to stop!
Wow, I can see why Katelyn's disagrees! That's gorgeous. But I'm guessing you'll be sending her some rocking "care packages" at school to make up for it.

The moment I read this post I just <3 the whole Advent fairy idea. I wish I had known this before. I am determined to do it next year, but 24 presents for 2 kids means a lot of brain storming for ideas...:D You are one super duper mommy!!!
