Advent Calendars


Each year as a child, I always had a chocolate Advent calendar to count down the days until Christmas. So, as soon as Ethan was old enough, Brian and I started this tradition with him. He has to impatiently wait until after lunch before he can open the day's square. He simply LOVES to see what chocolate will be inside. And I'm sure eating a piece of chocolate is no horrible task to him either!



This year at preschool, Ethan made a Christmas tree Advent calendar, and he gets to put a circle sticker over each numbered day until we get to Christmas. He loves to do this, and will actually wake up in the morning, and before even coming into my bedroom, will go into the kitchen and put on his sticker for the day!
