One of my favourite things about December is Advent Calendars. There are just so many cute ones! Every year I see a new one I want to make! But a few years ago, I made this little drawer one that I really like. Everyday, as soon as Kennedy wakes up she asks to open the drawer and inside are slips of paper of activities to do. Examples: do a Christmas craft, go look at Christmas lights at night, watch a Christmas movie, take cookies to someone etc. I am loving that Kennedy is at a good age to enjoy and understand these things.
The next one was a gift from Brian's brother/wife and family. (Thanks Jason & Joanne!)
Everyday there is a new Christmas book to open. Well, this has been a huge hit, as both of the girls LOVE books. And its so exciting to open a present everyday!
There's been fun books, more serious books, long and short. But everyday has been so fun to read a new one together. This will MOST DEFINITELY become a yearly tradition in our house.
They also have the typical chocolate advent, but since I have to keep it up high or Lexi will tear it open and eat it all, I always forget about it. I guess it works out ok, because when I do remember its like 3 days to open at once, so we all get some! hee hee, maybe thats my real plan :)
What do you do for advent calendars?
