Being a nanny for children of teachers means I get the whole week of thanksgiving off. It was very enjoyable and although I didn't get all of my projects on my to do list done, I did get a few crossed off.
First thing on my list was to make an advent calendar for me and Taylor to do during December. When I was young one of my favorite things to do at Christmas was read the advent calendar. Each day I would get to open a new window with another piece of the story of Christmas to read. I searched everywhere, the past couple of years, for an advent calendar like I had as a child. All I can ever find are calendars filled with chocolate. So I found a DIY calendar on Pinterest and set out to make my own.
Each day has a scripture for Taylor and I to read together, as well as a fun activity for us to do. Like make treats for the neighbors, or watch a christmas movie.

I used a 15'' x 40'' poster board, that folds in half (for easy storage). Each pocket is 4'' x 4'' and I bought pre made tags at Michael's and added a scripture to each, and some of the days have a fun activity too. Here's a link to the original Pinterest Pin (Click Here) for more instructions.
Hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas Season!
