Candy Calendars

We have taken over Derrick's family tradition of Candy Calendars at our house!  They are a countdown for each day until Christmas with candy or a treat!  This was my first year doing it on my own; usually we just have Derrick's sisters and mom buy our candy when they do theirs for their families.  I have to say I miss my mother-in-law and sister-in-laws!  It was a pain getting all the stuff myself!  But it was fun picking out candy that I knew Derrick and I would like and getting some stuff for Iva!  Hers was a little different than ours; her calendar has things like binkies, some little toys, baggies of her favorite puff-cereal, and a few suckers.  


Iva's calendar! 



She got a new binkie on day 1!

You think she likes her sucker now... 







 She LOVED it!  

We love family traditions!
