We had a wonderful month of December last year. We did everything on our list and more! We didn't always stick to the calendar. Sometimes we had a long day so instead of going out and doing something, we would swap it for an evening at home- watching a movie. This year we are carrying over quite a few things from the calendar last year because they were such a hit! I hope that since Peanut is a year older he will be able to be a little bit more involved in our activities. This year we are adding the Elf on the Shelf as a daily activity and instead of reading through the book of Luke( the story of the birth of Christ) every night, I think we'll break the story up into a few nights.
So, here it goes.......

Yay! We made your list! Glad you are coming to the parade party!! :)
I need a nap just after reading that! Sounds like a fun time!
Sounds like a great plan. We will be doing several of the same things, I just didn't pin anything to dates. Of course, I still have to make our advent calendar. :-)
