Do you do Advent Calendars with your kids? I grew up always having one and we have continued that tradition with our kids. This year the Professor is old enough to have his own. I am guessing in a few days he will start understanding to look for a new gift each morning. We keep the gifts really small. Usually it is a piece of candy, a pencil something like that. I am also a fan a buying something like an 8 pack of cute socks and that takes care of 4 days for the girls PLUS gives them something useful. Today the girls each got a new headband (and they will be getting headbands 3 more times.....Ha!). The Professor got a new matchbox car. On the 24th they will each come out to find a big gift and it will be their annual Christmas pjs.
What traditions do you have?
My family. My blog. Just a blog about the 6 of us, trying to live a Godly lifestyle in this crazy world.

It's the Cutest Thing
Our Thanksgiving traditions are pretty simple. A meal with family. A walk outside if weather allows. And typically the day after Thanksgiving we put up our Christmas tree while my husband's sister is still here visiting with us. The kids love including her in the festivities and we all have fun....well except for my husband who is in charge of all the manual labor. Ha! This year we had to switch things up a bit. His sister had to leave the day after Thanksgiving and my husband had to work today. We decided to move things up a day and do it on Thanksgiving. Yesterday while the Professor was napping we all put up the tree and all the decorations. He came downstairs and was amazed at the transformation. On our tree we have several bell ornaments that will ring. He spends so much time standing in front of them, gently ringing them and then giggling. He just loves it and it is seriously the cutest thing!
Oh, our other tradition is that after doing the tree and decorations we make homemade pizza and watch a movie by the lights of our tree. Since we live in a rural town we typically make our pizza but other places we lived we would order it in. Last night I made homemade pesto pizzas. YUM!
