Zach has been asking for months for a Lego Star Wars advent calendar! He wanted one for his birthday, he put it in his letter to Santa...These things are like $50! Granted, if you buy each little thing separately, you WILL pay way more than just $50 but, come on, it's $50! Well, I do this thing called "SwagBucks". It's a fun site that gives you credits and then you can change those for gifts, prizes and gift cards! If you haven't, check it out! I use the tool bar every day, which is just a search engine! Rather than going to my bookmarks, I'll type in the site I want to go to like I would in Google, but I earn Swagbucks (http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/missa425). It's easy and though out the year you collect points! WELL, back to my point! I had enough points to get $25 to Amazon (you can only redeem 5 gift cards a month) so I went ahead and got Zach's advent calendar for 1/2 off!! He was excited! And for Alissa, I found this cute idea on Pinterest (another fun site...you can pin anything you like on the internet and it keeps it all in one spot. Crafts, recipes, clothes, ANYTHING) to do a sock advent count down, so I got $1 socks at walmart with some fun $1 store goodies and each day she took out a new fun thing!
When I was a kid, we had this long piece of fabric that had yarn ties on it and my mom would tie candy on it! We loved that thing! We did it for years and years to count down to Christmas!
