Advent

We've begun another advent journey to Christmas. This year, I've tried to add more creative activities into our calendar (with some optional replacements for those days where we draw a dud or don't have the energy to make it happen. :)

Kenzie is stoked. Today, for Day 1, she helped insert our activities into our calendar. Rylan, however, would just like to walk around in more circles, please?

Here's what we'll be up to -- I'll post pictures when fitting:
Get Christmas book (& Elf)
Make Sock Snowmen
Make Twig Stars
Make Dough Ornaments
Take annual photo of family reflected in Christmas ball
Roast Marshmallows in the Fireplace
Use Christmas Cookie Cutters on Breakfast Toast
