Today was fittingly the first day of Advent and it is December 1st so we were able to start the Advent calendar. Last year I made an
altered Advent calendar, December 1st on that calendar is to decorate the Christmas tree. Well, I got as far as setting up the Christmas tree and some other decorations around the house but we never got to actually decorating the tree. It was a long busy day so that will have to wait a day or two!
Lucas and Sophie had fun opening the first day of their chocolate calendar today. Sophie enjoys it because it is something that Lucas is doing with her and Lucas enjoys it because he gets two pieces of chocolate. I enjoy it because it means the countdown to Christmas is on.
This photo is from December 1st, 2007 when Sophie was about a year and a half old.
These photos are from December 1st, 2008
Sophie getting the sniff test
These photos are from today :) They have grown so much!
There are so many Christmas traditions in our house and I have to get in gear if everything will get accomplished before Christmas day is here.
Ready, set, go!
I love the pictures of the kids in 2007 and 2008! It makes we want to pinch those adorable chubby cheeks! They may be growing but their pleasure in taking part in the advent calendar remains unchanged judging by the photos. :)
