***I finally got caught up after the holiday weekend!
I saw several ideas for advent calendars online, so I took several ideas and changed them to something that we could afford, and still look fun! I think it it looks better in person..but here is how it turned out:

I got a great deal on these little gift bags at Hobby Lobby (1/2 off), and I put numbered stickers on them.

I also found these paper coasters 1/2 off, (1.50 for a box of 30) to write on for each day.

We cant use our printer at the moment, so they are hand-written, but each day has a scripture, song and activity to do. I got the scriptures from a
friend article and added songs and changed a few things for it - I think it will be fun!

I hope this will be something meaningful for Jacob. I am happy that it wasn't too much work for me, with everything going on! :)
