Oh my. When I get home from my retreat next weekend I need to get on the advent calendar kick. I did a Lego and a homemade one for last year but this year they may both need to be bought. Not sure I want to deal with the gifts everyday and we are so bad we always miss some and have to play catch up and that is easier with pre-bought ones
I also pick up extra ones for rewards throughout the year!! My grandma was awesome and always did one for me. But i am not half the mom she was (and also she didnt do them for her kids – just for me!)
