Our Countdown to Chistmas!

So this year is our first Christmas together and also Jason's first Christmas home and so we are determined to make it special! We decked out our house in decor the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We also have decided to try out some different traditions and have been discussing what traditions we want to do with our new family. Something that Jason did with his family is on Christmas day they always read the story of Christ's birth before opening presents; we want to try this out! ... it will be a fun change from the 8 kids rummaging for presents at my house! I got bored one night while Jason was at work and decided to make my own sort of advent calendar. I made a little package out of paper and put a treat and a activity we could do for the day. Each day we draw one and have to do that activity. I am excited because each day we will be able to have fun together, create a memory and share some Christmas cheer. So far it has been a success.
