So this month…I think I might be talking a lot about our Christmas traditions…I’ve done it a bit in the past..but it might be more this year..so be warned.
One of our first traditions is getting out our advent calendar. My mom gave this to us years ago and I love it because it is reusable. I also love it because it challenges me to get gifts that are small enough that they fit into these little tiny drawers..which usually means candy or small amounts of change…which is a good thing..because to me the advent calendar is about little tiny things…..(okay..the first day I cheated…I put a little note in the drawer that said to look somewhere else..I got snowman candy bars and they wouldn’t fit in the drawer…but I couldn’t resist..they were delicious…white and dark chocolate with pepermint pieces!!)
We try to do the advent calendar first thing in the morning…when things aren’t too crazy…but River doesn’t always cooperate. She likes to sleep in..and Tuesday and Quinn have to be off early for school. So, we will either do it first thing in the morning…or right after school. If we end up not doing it in the morning, it drives River crazy. She spends the whole day asking why Tuesday and Quinn aren’t home from school yet!!
