Christmas everyday

Growing up we had a advent calendar that had little pockets for each day. In each pocket my mom would put a piece of paper for a christmas activity that we were going to do that day. I don't have a calander, but I thought it would be fun to do a daily Christmas activity with Teah.

Dec 1st - put up and trim tree
Dec 2nd - make banana bread (Teah insisted on remaining in only a diaper most the day, so I never took a picture.)
Dec 3rd - take out train
Dec 4th - gather pinecones from our yard for crafts and make sugar cookies. I think the cookies were a little close together.

The train, so fun!!! One big yummy cookie. That is great you are keeping the advent calendar tradition, it was one of my favorite.

Adam's mom gave us one of those Calenders for Christmas years ago. I love it!! So we have continued the tradition too. Isaac always wants to bake ginger bread cookies. So he will write it on slips of paper and slip it into several different days!
