A Bradley friend of mine has a great blog where she mostly writes about motherhood, crafts and life's simple pleasures. Awhile back she posted about her family advent calendar, complete with activity ideas that you pull out of cute felt Christmas shapes....1 a day until Christmas. I thought it sounded like so much fun to do with my kids, so I found a felt advent calendar on Etsy (I don't sew) and copied some of her activities and added a few of my own.
It's been a hit with the kids.Some of our favorites have been...
Day 2: Decorate the Christmas Tree
Day 4: Go for a drive/walk and look at Christmas lights
Day 7: Make a Gingerbread House (the boys of the house opted for a train)
We're still looking forward to making sugar cookies, delivering Christmas cards, watching Christmas movies and reading the Christmas story in the scriptures.
15 days until Christmas....
