I made it. What is it? It's an advent calendar. Super easy, fast and did I mention CUTE? I'm pretty pleased with it! Actually, I'm darn excited!
It's little match boxes covered in Christmas-y paper, numbers glued on top and notes or candy inside. The notes include special things we'll do in December, like make sugar cookies, go bowling, tour the Christmas lights, have a camp-out under the Christmas tree.
I'm super excited for the kids to start on this and love that I now have family activities planned out for the next three weeks. It will make the season a bit more special I think and hopefully make us adults in the house stop and enjoy this time with our kids. We keep reminding each other how they won't be young forever and won't want to hang out with us for long either. This will hopefully be something they always remember and look forward to every year.
In other, un-related new...my husbands at the Grey Cup today. For free!!! Friends of ours had an extra ticket and invited him. He was on top of the world! I'm super excited for him...how fun!
