Each day the kids have been taking turns with the two Advent calendars we have. One of them is a Hershey Kiss calendar where each day you get a piece of candy. The other is one Paula gave us the first year we were married. We usually do that one in the mornings and the candy at night after supper. They love doing them and counting down the days until Christmas. Another tradition we started last year is the Elf on the Shelf. Luke decided to rename our elf to "fireball" this year. We let him since we never fully agreed on the name "Mr Elf" that he gave him last year. It is so cute every morning they kids run around saying "fireball, where are you?" Our Elf is not as mischievous as some I have seen on Facebook and Pinterest. He is a pretty mild mannered Elf. The kids have found him dangling from light fixtures, hiding in the Christmas Tree and kneeling next to Baby Jesus in our nativity just to name a few. We love all the traditions, old and new, that this Season brings.
