When I was growing up we had a beautiful, reusable Advent Calendar that my brothers and I eagerly looked forward to unpacking each year come late November. With each passing day we’d take turns moving the little mouse (the day marker) to his new home—any one of the given 25 tiny pockets. I loved this...
Nick and I were JUST talking about advent season. I told him that we used to buy advent calendar's from my older brother's German class when I was a kid. Eat the chocolates inside. I LOVED it!
Thanks for the lovely memory Erin. I hadn't thought about that calendar and its' tiny traveling advent mouse for some years. I think it's time to unpack it again! I love that you and Erik are finding new ways to mark this special time of year though. We love you and will see you soon! Mom
Love it. My childhood advent calendar involved a little gray mouse that would be moved each day to a new pocket. It was such a sweet little tradition! Thanks for the reminder

I love that picture of the red barn! It reminds me of the barn in my backyard growing up. Hope all is well in Switzerland!
