Our awesome neighbor, Mary, gives each kid a huge advent box each year. Starting with December 1st, each child has 25 individually wrapped gifts. They open one each morning in December when they wake up. Seriously, so thoughtful, generous and fun! For the first few mornings Josie and Benjamin wake up EXTRA early to open their advent gift and look for Elf on the Shelf...
Here they are with one of their many advent gifts - the window decals
Another morning it was crazy straws
We got our tree around the second week of December which also was the beginning of what would be about three months of illness for me... more on that later.
Santa and Mrs. Claus made by my mom about 35 years ago!
We got free tickets to the preview of the new movie "Annie" The kids and I hopped on the bus and had fun watching the movie and then experiencing downtown Seattle all decorated for Christmas.
Fun on the winter carousel.
Our yearly cookie decorating tradition continues.
Marty joined in this year
And I must say our decorating skills are improving.
Later in the month another fun advent gift from Mary... drinking glasses
