I got this idea from one of Dave's cousins and I loved it! I adapted it to fit our family, but thought that I would pass this on, it is too cute and I am always looking for new ideas of fun things to do with the kids to put us all in the Christmas spirit and get them more excited for the holiday. Also as a way to set this season apart as something special. We made snowflakes this morning and Hailey really liked it. I printed the list out and hung it on the fridge so we can check them off as we do them. I hope you can enjoy it too!

That is a great idea! Thanks for sharing it. I think we will have to try that this year. I am always looking for new ideas to count down Christmas...thanks!
I'm so glad you like the idea. We had a fabulous time dancing like crazy to silly Christmas songs tonight. Happy December!
That's a fun idea. I'll have to remember it in a few years when Jackson will know what's going on :)
