The Cow Goes Where??

Another post from Mom!! :)

It's getting to be so much fun now that the girls are getting a bit older to start our own family traditions. There are a few that the girls are still a bit young for but that I really am looking forward to. For example, I'm going to be ALL over the whole "Elf on the Shelf" thing. I'm already planning places that the girls can find him. I also look forward to leaving cookies for Santa and finding a "dropped gift from Santa's sleigh" in the backyard. My dad did that one when I was little and I still remember it.

One tradition that we did start this year and the girls look forward to every evening is putting their sticker on their advent calendar. Nanna C. gave the girls cute little advent calendars and each night when we sit down for dinner the girls ask for their stickers. We show them the spot where it goes and sometimes the sticker lands on the correct location and sometimes.....not. :) 

It's kind of surprising because usually Gwen is the meticulous one between the two of them and has great attention to detail. But she really has her own opinion on where these stickers should go. There is currently a sheep where the lantern goes, a lantern where the shepherds go, and shepherds where the cow goes. But we don't think Baby Jesus will mind in the grand scheme of things. Braelyn's advent calendar on the other hand is just as it should be!! They never seize to amaze us.
