Calendar Countdown

So I finally took the plug. I know several other momma's that do an advent calendar or calendar countdown activity. I made 32 envelope's with different activities to do throughout the month. Today's activity was play Christmas and dance to it. She like dancing to the music once we got started. However when we opened the envelope she wasn't excited. But I think as the month progresses she will. We are also doing a chocolate advent calendar that I picked up at Trader Joe's.

Here are the envelope's
