As I was putting away all the Christmas decorations I realized that I have quite the Advent calendar collection. I love each of them and they have become part of our family Holiday traditions.
This is a new one I got this year from my sister Jodi. I LOVE it! The kids had such a blast opening up each box every day before Christmas. Sometimes there was a treat or sometimes there was a piece to an adorable nativity. However, I think my kids favorite day was the day they opened the box to find notes for each of them from their cousins!
The boxes have a magnet on them and then attach to a metal board. Aren't the boxes adorable!
This is an advent that Cumorah designed and I made and taught at our wards Super Saturday. I love how it turned out!
This one has to be my favorite. Another fabulous Christmas gift from Jodi. Who knows how many hours she spent sewing each individual piece. It is absolutely adorable. Each day you add another piece to the nativity scene. It is a treasure that I will enjoy forever and I am sure my kids will be fighting over who gets it after I am gone!
Here is another Jodi creation. This one is one of my kids favorites. Each door has a jar attached to it that I fill will treats, stickers, lip gloss, or whater I can find that will fit. Such a fun holiday tradition. I think this one was my first advent calender. I love it!
My creative cousin Cumorah designed this one and taught it at a class. All I had to do was put it together. I love having some advents that focus on the true meaning of Christmas.
