Jaylene is getting more than a little excited about her upcoming birthday. I am more than a little reluctant to see my baby girl enter the double digits. To help keep things festive, I created a little countdown calendar for her.

It was inspired by this cute Santa Beard advent calendar. Jaylene’s having fun using our decorative scissors to cut away strips. The closer we get to the big day, the shorter her present becomes.
What do you do to celebrate birthdays?

Boy, I’ve missed you guys. This is a great idea. I am going to keep this in mind for next year. We talk and talk about Sophia’s birthday every year. She would love this.
