First Advent of 2011!

Our advent calendar is one of our favorite Christmas traditions in the Hardy House! The littles were so excited to open the first drawer!

 Daddy had the honor of opening the drawer and seeing what was inside....there are always four pieces of candy...today it was Christmas Dove chocolates! But sometimes there is also a prize ribbon and today was one such day!

 Each little was given a wrapped gift....

 They were happy to find new Christmas gear inside!

 Christmas Cross Country sweatshirts for the boys!

 Because they are so Beast at XC!

 and personalized Christmas penguin shirts for the girls!
