Advent Calendar Activities

I am so incredibly behind with posting our advent calendar activities. A couple of the activities we had to post-pone  due to the weather. We are planning on taking Allison to see Santa either tomorrow or Thursday! I hope she doesn't freak out!


December 3rd: Deck the Halls


I love the Christmas holiday and decided that since it was Allison's first Christmas we needed to make it even more special aka: more work for mom. I used ornaments from last year to make twine Christmas ornaments. Our theme is "A Very Rustic Christmas". I think what we have so far turned out excellent. There are still quite a few more projects I want to do so hopefully I'll get to them all before Christmas!

December 4th: Make an Ornament


We attempted to make a cute star ornament out of twigs but Allison decided she would rather crush the sticks. We got a few pictures of her working on the star before it became a heaping pile of sticks.

We decided to make a Christmas card for Charles' grandma who is in the hospital. Someone liked helping mommy cut out the 'hand'tlers! What a little cutie!

We have to come up with a different activity since there wont' be another live nativity in the area this year. Dang freezing weather!
