One Saturday I had my sister and Mom over when the boys were out busy for the day. We stamped, we cut, we taped, we laughed, we got confused and we had a great time! Then we had the joys of shopping and filling it. Mom wanted to do my sister/brother-in-law and mine. And my sister and I had to do our parents and brother. Now we only did one box per couple…which made trying to pack it very interesting to say the least. I think for next year we will be coming up with another kind of advent calendar for the other significant other. Makes it way easier to pack!!!
So today, it was Day 1. I couldn't wait to dive in…this morning I got ready and made my way to the boxes. For those of you that know me, you would know that having boxes there waiting…is well hard on me to not dive into all at once. So this morning was just a little easier to get up knowing I had something waiting for me. When I opened the box I liked how mom had put a bible verse to do with advent and the Christmas season. Then when I seen the Davids Tea I chuckled. When mom opened hers she was going to see the same thing. I guess great minds really do think alike! Plus there was delicious mint/chocolate candy for us to enjoy.
Now I wait with anticipation for tomorrow morning to roll around and see what will be up mom & dad's sleeve. I am happy we have started this tradition and can't wait to see what we come up with next year!
