We busted out the advent calendars yesterday. This year I got each of the kids a playmobile advent calendar where they open little boxes that contain pieces to a holiday scene every day until Christmas. I was fortunate to find the sets from the past 3 years so each kid has a different scene that is unfolding.
It has been a huge hit. The excitement is palpable. What is going to show up in tomorrow's box? You never know!
John and I decided to celebrate Christmas early here with the kids this year so that they can still experience the Christmas morning tradition at home before we travel to Michigan. So Santa will be hitting our house on December 19th this year. The advent calendars are on fast forward now and the kids are opening more than one box per day...whoops!!!!
