Advent Calendar

25 days of #christmas #adventcalendar #activities...blog post coming tomorrow #sneekpeek


It all started in 2009.


Christmas Tree + Advent Calendar 007


This year I printed a calendar to try to do the more time consuming things on the weekend + the easier things on the week days.  Plus, we had to schedule around a few things ;)


Christmas Tree + Advent Calendar 022


This year I ordered a download from Draw Pilgrim!  You're supposed to make them into match boxes, but I really just wanted to cut them + write the activity on the back + stick into the pockets of our advent calendar.  I've been using the same advent calendar since I was little.  My mom would always put hershey kisses in the pockets :)
