This year for Christmas, I wanted to start a fun tradition for our family. It all began when I saw this....
....on a recent visit to Target. Each day of December (up until Christmas Day) has it's own door that can be opened to reveal a message showing a fun surprise for the day! For example, messages may be something like making Christmas cookies, watching The Polar Express, putting up our Christmas tree, or opening stockings. The kids were so excited last night to open the first door. * As a side note, when asked what they thought the first door to be opened was, Sadie correctly pointed the the "1" while Parker pointed to the "5". Oh, boy.*
The kids will take turn opening the door and pulling out the note. Sadie got to open the door first, so here she is ready to see what's inside....
....and Parker was all ready and excited to pull out the note.
The note said "Drive around and look at Christmas lights!".
Here is a little video showing the kids' excitement. (Please ignore the annoying Mommy-voice.)
We all had a super fun time pointing out all of the pretty light displays while listening to Christmas music. There were even snowflakes falling while we were out! And the first thing the kids did when they got up this morning was ask to open the 2nd door....which we will do the evening when Andrew gets home. Excited for a new and fun surprise each day up until Christmas!
