Christmas Calendar

When I was younger every year my mom would give Morgan and I a Christmas calendar that would count down to Christmas. Everyday we would open up the number and there would be a chocolate. We LOVED it! Well my mom has brought down the tradition to my nieces every year. I always told my mom that I miss that and loved those calendars. Well last Sunday while my parents were at our house visiting and I giving my dad a haircut, my mom gave me wrapped present. I was shocked to get one so early before Christmas. Well I opened it and look what it was....

A CHRISTMAS CALENDAR!! We have loved it! On December 2nd when I was getting ready for work I ran into the kitchen to open up the day to get the chocolate and as I went to open it..the chocolate was GONE! Under my breath I said "Dangit!!" Well Billy could hear me in our room and he just started laughing so hard. When he woke up that morning he took the chocolate and closed it back up so I wouldn't notice. Now its a race everyday to see who opens it. I got him back last night when he ran to it to open it and it was already open. HAHA. Its a fun tradition and I cant wait till we have kids to start that with them.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

I remember that tradition at your house. Coming over to your house and seeing those at christmas time. I think I helped open them on some days. I was a little bit jealous of that. =) How fun that you are still doing it. You have such a fun family!
