Day 19: I wish it could be Christmas Every Day

I love advent calendars.  A little door to open everyday to count down to Christmas is just the thing for everyone to look forward to the big day.

Mom sent the kids each a calendar.  Hazel was so excited for them to come in the mail.  She checked the mail everyday.  On November 30th, Hazel was so worried that they wouldn't come in time.  To dry her tears, I took her to the store to buy just one calendar right after school, just in case.  Of course, the package from Grandma was in the mailbox when we got home.  So I kept the extra calendar for Nate and I. 

Everyone loves looking behind that little door for a chocolate treat.

We love advent calendars too. The kids each had a chocolate one of their own. We also had one we hung up in the kitchen - the kids took turns opening up the door each day. And they never forgot whose turn it was!
