Advent calendar

I just wanted to share our version of the Advent calendar.  I blew up balloons and wrote numbers on each one.  I put a slip of paper inside with various activities for us to do.  Some examples:  write a letter to Santa, go see Santa, Zoo Lights, bake cookies, etc.  I was going to put 2 kisses in each one but I forgot.  Every day we pop the correct balloon and do the activity.  Sophia surprised me by not wanting to pop the balloon with Lila.  Lila is loving the countdown and now actually understands when Christmas will be here.  Between this and our elf, Silly, I might go crazy.   It is a little off center, which truthfully, makes me slightly crazy but not enough to start the balloon tree all over again.  We will see how the balloons look by the end of the month-ha!  Hopefully they last until Christmas!
