"Can I open a box, Mommy?"

As we celebrate our third holiday season as a family, we have begun to realize that we are creating our own holiday traditions. This year we welcomed "Twinkle" our Elf on the Shelf who watches everyone in our household and reports back to Santa and we found this fun advent calendar for the girls.
It took Clara a while to figure out the concept of only opening one door a day, so several times a day we were hearing the big question, "Can I open a box?" We have tried to change up the surprises from sweet treats to fun activities. Watching Clara enjoy this new tradition feels like just as much of a treat for us as it for her. I imagine Janie will love this just as much in years to come!
