Advent Calendar

1 Dec posted by Megan

Finally got the advent calendar up...this morning!

Each cup has a peanut butter cup (Quinn picked it). The little scrap of fabric will move along as a marker. This isn't the permanent home for the advent calendar. The permanent home is getting built (more on that later). So the reindeer need bigger noses, but I am all advent calendar-ed out. Maybe I will go back and fix up the noses later. This project took way longer than I imagined. Y'all ever have projects like that?
