Advent Calendar.

Before December, my wife Melissa, went shopping and found us our very first Advent Calendar. It was kinda beat up and some knobs were missing. We went to a craft store and got some new knobs and some gold paint. We pulled off the remaining old knobs, and cleaned off the old glue. It looked like it was repaired before with different types of glue. We decided to use a hot glue gun this time around. Melissa, painted all the new knobs, while I cleaned off the old glue. When the paint was dry, we started attaching the new knobs.We let it dry over night. The next morning we tried the new knobs and they worked perfectly. It was like they were made for the calendar. The weekend after Thanksgiving, we decorated our house for Christmas, and we got to put out the Advent calendar. We both got to fill it with little treats. We alternate the days, and it's fun to watch as the other person opens it up to see what they get. This will definitely be a new tradition for us. 

Do you see the size of this Hershey Kiss!

This was one of the treats waiting for me. This has been so much fun to do. I am already thinking of what treats I am gonna put inside next year. Try something new, and you never know, it could be your new, holiday tradition. Try new things, and make them your own.

After the rain.

What is it!?

Is it Y2K? Is it the Apocalypse? Is it the Zombie plague?

I think a Zombie that was scared by the Apocalypse, collapsed on a keyboard, that was infected by Y2K. Haha. Or they couldn't find the "B" button for brains. Haha

Saw this today driving to work haha.
