Advent Surprise

We found a box on our doorstep this week

and were surprised to see this large wooden tree advent calendar inside.

 The boys were very curious and so were we!

 We both loved it and were excited to have our first advent calendar.

Our conversations were filled with ideas for putting things in the tiny boxes.

 Then we realized that the little boxes had all been filled

with various sugary treats and gift cards!!

One of the most thoughtful gifts we've received in a while.

 Some of my mother in law's recent questions/comments were now making sense...

What are your favorite candies?

Watch for a package.

We are having so much fun with this new decoration this year.
