25 Days till Christmas Countdown

This year I am starting a new tradition with my family, through the month of December we will have a family activity every day as we count down the 25 days till Christmas.  I made a countdown that will hang on the fridge, behind each numbered day will be the activity for that day.  The kids are very excited to start this, well at least Lillie is, the boys know no different.  Below is the list of activities we will take part in throughout the month.  A lot of these are things we do anyway but this is a more festive way of doing it.
