We are counting down

We made our candy chains and Taylor made a paper chain at preschool.

I really wanted to do an advent calendar last year but never did. So I decided this was the year. But then I realized we are going to be gone most of December. So when I saw this, I knew I had to do it. Easy and mobile- exactly what I needed this year! So I used up some of my Christmas paper and went to work making this little advent calendar. There are little coin envelopes on the back of each page. Inside the envelope is the activity for that day. So far the kids got their new Christmas books, we had a mean game of Hide and Seek and got to eat Apple Pancakes for breakfast. So far so good. The kids have loved it!
