i've always wanted to have this amazing advent calendar for us to do each year. and i want to have traditions with our girls that they want to carry on to their own families some day. last year, we did christmsas books, which was wonderful. not only did we get to read new books each night, but we instantly got 25 new christmas books to add to our collection.
this year, i want to focus on the activities that we can do as a family to celebrate christmas and the birth of jesus. i got a box of 5x7 envelopes and some scrapbook paper and made my own advent calendar. these things can cost some good money if you buy them and i had seen several cute ones on etsy.com that i'd love to have, but didn't want to spend the money to buy. this was super easy and i'll have these envelopes now for years to come. each night, we open the envelope and do whatever activity i have written down in there.
sidenote : luckily, my girls can't read yet. this december hasn't gone by my plans so far, so i've had to improvise every single night. hopefully we get back on track.
