Advent Calendar

Since we are officially in the countdown to Christmas I thought I would share the activities we will be doing for our advent calendar. This is the first one either of us have ever done & I decided to make my own calender. I found some super cute ideas on Pinterest (obviously), but then I totally ditched those since we're short on space.

I planned these activities in advance, knowing some plans we had going on during the month. I simply bought some miniature envelopes & printed each activity on a slip of paper. Here is our list! :)

24. Make paper snowflakes

Sometimes we just get so busy & forget about the spirit of the season. Nate & I don't have any kids at the moment (unless you count fur babies), but I hope some of these activities bring the magic of Christmas into our home this year! :)

Merry Tuesday!
