Advent Calendar

I've never had the energy or organization to do an Advent calendar before, but this year is different!

A bunch of people online were saying that they made Advent calendars for their family to count down the days to Christmas and I thought that it would be a fun idea.  So, I "borrowed" some ideas from friends and came up with one of my own. 

Every day the kids will take down a folded note with that day's date on it.  Each has an action that has to be done.  Some are as simple as singing Christmas songs or reading stories, others involve bringing food to the food shelf, baking cookies for the neighbors, etc. 

Hopefully it's a fun tradition that we carry on.
