Advent

I feel that by the time November hits, the next 2 months just fly by, so Blake and I sat down last night and came up with our advent list. We have always thrown one together last minute, but wanted to be really organized and do it well this year since our eldest are reaching an age where we are making memories... My Pottery Barn Kids advent calendar got eaten by a mouse - literally - so this year we are going to try a DIY! This is my favorite idea:
