Now that Christmas is past, here’s a peek at some of the Advent Activities I didn’t have time to show you…
Our Happy Birthday Jesus Party
Legend of the Candy Cane Craft
The Star Scavenger Hunt & Star
Our Daddy Christmas Cards {sent to Daddy, Grandpa, Papa and two uncles!}
Sticker Nativity Scene
{I got this for 50% off last year and put the stickers in our advent calendar each day!
Baby Jesus was the last day–the kids were so excited to see him!}
We did miss several of the activities I planned, but I knew that would happen. I liked that I had so many ideas to choose from—and that they were all so different! We were always focusing on the theme and always talking about it. However, Lydia asked me about 5 times, “Can we do ornaments next year? So we can teach Asa about the Christmas story?” So, we’ll see what happens next year!
Oh, I forgot to add our JoyFULL Stockings! It was so cute. When we talked about what made us joyful Asa said “Monkey”. 🙂
Here’s a pic of some of the pictures we drew: http://www.flickr.com/photos/anhw/5303787130/
