25 Days of Christmas...
(Warning...Lots of pictures!)
We have started lots of Christmas traditions in our home, one of them being the 25 days of Christmas Advent Calendar. I put 25 little brown paper packages along the stairs and each day there is something new. Sometimes it is a treat or a little gift, but most of the days it is something to do as a family. It has been one of the highlights for Emily this year. She loves it! It has been so much fun and cheap too! I have not been great about documenting all of it, but here are a few pictures of the things we have done.
