Counting Down To Christmas

It's hard to believe Christmas will be here in less than a week... Our construction project is nearly done (pics coming soon...) we just have a little more sanding and painting left!

One of the kids favorite Christmas traditions is our advent calendar. Every day they find a different treat behind each door. Opening the door for each day is the first thing they do every morning! This year instead of candy or junk behind each door, they are putting together a Playmobil Nativity Set, finding different pieces each day.

Even Princess has an advent calendar...we got this one after Christmas last year for 99 cents! Every day she finds a different doggie treat! The funny thing is that it sits on top of the refrigerator and she has gotten used to the routine and she sits in front of the refrigerator looking up at it waiting for the kids to get it down!
