...you hear a rush of pitter patter going down the stairs...some have their teeth brushed...some don't...half dressed...maybe combed hair and then again maybe not....Its a rush to our Advent calendar box...it has a little goodie for each day like gum, candy canes, chocolates, chap stick, tic tacs and whatever else I find standing in the grocery line.
Plus
a piece of our playmobile {snow} scene each day...
It's so simple and between the 3 of them they have done it for 10 years but it's NEVER old...it's just as exciting as the first day my 1 year old son opened door #1!
This is {CHRISTMAS}...nothing could be sweeter~

Isn't the love and excitement of Children at Christmas--a wonderful part of the holiday?!
I loved your post! The excitment of Christmas! Hope you have a great day! Blessings, Faye
Love it! It's such a good feeling when you see your kids excitement like that!
Such great traditions for your kids...ones they'll ALWAYS remember!
I love that as well-there is nothing sweeter, for sure.
I wanted to tell you, we got our Jesse Tree in the mail last week, and it has been so wonderful! It has been a great time of family devotions at dinner...Thank you for sharing that on your blog-
Love your family's take on the advent calendar. That's a beautiful box!
What a fabulous tradition for your children. One that they will pass on to their children one day. So sweet.♥
My daughter is only 15 months old, but already she LOVES our advent calendar... I foresee problems if we ever have another, there will be fighting for who gets to put Santa's "toy" in his bag (or, maybe the purchse of a second calendar!).
