Free Advent Calendar!

I took Casey's advent calendar, she so graciously emailed me yesterday, printed it out...one for each child...and added a little something to make it our own!  I love how they turned out, as did the boys!  Thanks so much, Casey, and I hope you don't mind my changes!


I cut out the calendar itself and glued it to a piece of colored paper.  I then scoured the internet for 4 different Christmas themed templates, and decided to make a snowman, Rudolph, a stocking and a tree.  I attached them to the calendar, and then glued the whole thing to a black piece of construction paper to make the colors pop!

Preston's

Trysten's...waiting for him to get here tomorrow and color in the first 3 days! I hope he likes it!

Carter's

Austin's...nice coloring job...It's like pulling teeth to get "The Teenager" to do this stuff these days! Makes me sad. =(

Simple and kid friendly!
Only 23 more days!!!

Love this! The background will help save your walls, too.....little hands slide off the paper!

Glad I could share it with you guys. It's one of my favorite traditions.
