Countdown

I saw this really cute Christmas Countdown idea

on another blog (Wenderful) and really wanted to try it.

She did it for all 24 days leading up to Christmas.

I knew there was NO WAY I would be able to do that -

I was quite certain that 12 days would be the best I could do.

As December 13 (starting date) quickly approached,

I was beginning to feel like doing 4 days might be pushing it.

Then just when I was about to give up on the idea until next year,

I remembered that I have

TWO

fine,

talented,

and

charming

young sons

who could help

And so they did

First day activity:

Help Mom make the countdown calendar

Cute, crafty boys

Not bad, huh?

Now if I can just think of 12 things to put IN the bags!
