We had so much fun with our Advent calendar this year. Here is a recap of days 10-25.
Day 10- "Let's visit Santa"
Day 11- "Let's make salt dough ornaments!"
Day 12- "Read Christmas books and drink hot cocoa."
Day 13- "Take money to the bell ringer for Salvation Army." This was so sweet. They had some coins and we went to visit the bell ringer outside of Walmart. He was so kind and grateful and let each child ring the bell. It was unforgettable.
Day 14- Lollipop treats
Day 15- "Let's go see Christmas lights."
Day 16- "Let's ride the Christmas train!"
Day 17- Christmas donuts.
Day 18- "Let's bake Christmas cookies!"
Day 19- "Let's eat a Snowman lunch."
Day 20- Treat-Christmas pencils
Day 21- "Let's read the Christmas story."
Days 22-24- Sickness took over our house. Stomach flu, colds, coughs, ear infections, pink eye. It all happened at once and put our Advent on hold. They barely noticed.
Day 25- Christmas!
Baking salt dough ornaments.
Visiting Santa-in our Santa jammies. They created quite the spectacle.
Santa feet!
Baking and decorating Christmas cookies-gingerbread men and sugar cookies with sprinkles.
We made quite the mess.
A Christmas elf!
A very preppy Christmas elf.
Christmas donuts! Courtesy of Dunkin Donuts. I got up extra early so they would be ready when they woke up.
Opening Christmas gifts with Gigi. Art supplies for Everett. A pirate ship (Jolly Roger) for Hampton. A tea set and petit fours for Eleanor. And a new pop up toy for Thatcher. They loved it all.
Snowman lunch.
Christmas train!
Miss Independent decided she would take her own car. Such a brave girl.
