Our Advent calendar is up and running this year. The first year we did it with Cy I filled it full of little crappy toys or pieces of candy to put in these little pockets but it just wasn't very exciting for either one of us. So, last year we started having Cy do things with us rather than get stuff and it's been great. Because of swimming I don't get to do too much with it during the week but the weekends are my time:) So far this year Cy has gone to the Thomas exhibit with us, made homemade cookies with dad, and unwrapped a new Christmas book to read at story time. Some other things we'll do is make a gingerbread house, go to the annual Christmas parade, go to Dizzy the Snowman play, read the story of baby Jesus, send a card to a solider, and on and on. It's a nice month of fun family activities. I love doing it.
