Christmas countdowns start tomorrow at our house. Quinn and I made this one together today. I think he turned out pretty cute. Quinn loves to use scissors, so I thought this would be perfect for her. You cut off part of his beard every day until Christmas. And no-- I obviously can't write numbers in a straight line if I start from the bottom. It gives him character.
My darling girl might be a little excited for Christmas festivities. And some of you may remember the other advent calendar that I made a couple years ago. That also begins tomorrow-- as well as the Christmas book countdown. (We open a christmas book everyday-- they are the same Christmas books that we read every year. I just wrap them and let them open one a day)

Amber, I miss seeing you and your cute kids. Must have you over soon for a play date! I'm also glad we aren't the only one starting count downs tomorrow. We have 3 different kinds aswell. Each grandma does a count down with grandma with choc/candy and then another grandma did a small toy/gift one. I LOVE your book idea. Think I will collect more this year and do it next year... So fun and we love books! -Tiff-

Great ideas Amber! By the way, the calendar you made last year is amazing. I wish that I had your sewing skills.
