To help with the countdown to Christmas, we did an advent calendar again this year. Most of the days had "experiences" and not "things". One of them said they needed to deliver bagels to the fire station and thank the firemen and women for their service. So after preschool, we headed to pick up bagels and stop by our neighborhood fire station to deliver.
The firefighters were so grateful and made the generous offer to come in and see the firetrucks. On top of that, they gave us a full tour of their lounge, bedrooms, and hose storage.
The kids had a blast and it was fun to spread the holiday cheer by giving!
One of the other advent experiences and also an annual tradition, is to head downtown to see the Macy's Christmas display, visit Santa, and have lunch with Chop.
And low and behold, they asked for motorcycles again. And after stopping at Target later this season, they discovered kid motorcycles. Hint: Santa will not be delivering this request!
