{Christmas Countdown} Advent Lunches 2014: Week 1

This week kicked off our yearly holiday tradition of #AdventLunches! Each year, I make Little Miss holiday theme lunches with a Christmas Countdown. I include the countdown number somewhere in the lunch, either written on a Lunchbox Love Note or made into a cute food item within the lunch itself. She looks forward to it every year! 
Here's what we packed for week one of 2014: 

{Christmas Countdown} Advent Lunches: And then there were 12

14...13...12...

Friday's lunch marks only 12 days left until Christmas!

 

I can't believe how quick this countdown has gone. Time flies when you're having fun.

 

Now for a little blog catch-up with school lunches from the past few days. You can see all our advent lunches by clicking here.

I can't believe there are only 16 days left until Christmas! This month is already flying by. After traveling for work all of last week, I'm looking forward to spending this one in state and hopefully getting caught up. So much to do and not much time left!

 

At least school lunches are festive thanks to our holiday fun we have each year counting down the days.

One of Little Miss' favorite Advent Christmas Countdown Lunches last year was "Frosty the Bagel".

Lunch Made Easy: Advent School Lunches ~ A Christmas Countdown

For those that have followed KMG Blog for some time now, you may remember the fun tradition we started last December for Little Miss' lunch: Advent School Lunches ~ A Christmas Countdown.

 

This year, I plan on doing the same. She love last year having a countdown each day telling her how many days were left until Christmas.

 

I decided today would be a good day to revisit some of my favorites and share them with you for inspiration this holiday season!

Little Miss was excited though ~ She said it looked like Christmas! Then asked to go build a snowman... lol, so the lunch for Wednesday is fitting. :)
