Taylor woke up this morning and told me she heard Santa on the roof. With 2o days left until Santa will (actually) be on our roof I needed something to help her get a grasp on time. I decided to make an advent calendar. I bought a cute little calendar from Target for $20. Inside I will put a little candy and a daily activity idea.
