The countdown to Christmas has already begun in our house. \u00a0The kids ask\u00a0daily\u00a0how many more days are left until Christmas is here. \u00a0I haven’t quite figured out a fun and creative way to count down the days with the kids. \u00a0Right now we are just marking off the days on our wall calendar. \u00a0It’s not that exciting and\u00a0definitely\u00a0not pretty.<\/p>\n
