My Munchkins have been counting down the days until they could open the first window on their advent calendar - and finally December 1st arrived!!! Yay!! They couldn't WAIT to open their first window :) Poor Sam barely had his eyes open before Abby was thrusting his calendar at him :)
I have my own calendar this year too - a traditional calendar with a picture in each window :) The children like mine as much as their own!
