I had a stash of Christmas scrapbooking papers left over from my scrapbooking years, so I pulled out 5-6 coordinating sheets. I wasn't sure what to use as the actual envelopes. I came up with the idea to cut standard envelopes in half (after sealing them closed). This gave me perfectly sized, inexpensive envelopes. I covered my envelopes in scrapbook paper and numbered them (my numbers were from a scrapbook paper that I cut apart).

I went through the calendar and added activities that were date specific. I also tried to put simpler activities on Sundays, since we're usually so busy that day. I also used scriptures from this site, and added one to each day.

Here is a list of the activities I have listed for ours:
(I also have several snow related ones (snowball fight, make snowman, go sledding) that I will add in place of some of these - if we get any snow in the next month).
