Advent Activities

I've spent most of my day being completely and utterly unproductive.  In fact, I'm still in my pajamas.  However, I did manage to complete the list of activities we will be doing to celebrate this Advent season.  I've yet to decide how exactly we will be displaying our Advent Calendar this year, but with the help of Pinterest I have a ton of ideas so we will just have to see where that takes us.  I'll post pictures of our finished product later in the week, but for now I present...
