2012 Advent Calendar Sneak Peek

We are only one day away until we can officially - in my book at least - start celebrating the holidays. I'm one of those people that does not do anything Christmas/holiday related until December 1st. Well, I take that back, there's one thing I do before December 1st - we prepare our annual advent calendar. 

This year, we decided to do something different. Instead of only posting our list of activities for the 24 days leading up to Christmas online, we are creating an actual calendar.  Since Jack is old enough to open each box to reveal an activity and small surprise, we thought it would be the perfect time to start this tradition.

Here's a first look at our 2012 Family Advent Calendar. Tomorrow, I will be sharing a simple tutorial on how to create your own version as well as the activities we've included in our calendar this year.

Does your family have an advent calendar? What kind of activities do you include?

In the meantime check out our 2011, 2010 and 2009 advent calendars.
