This year I decided (well Kara and Mandy talked me in) to do an advent calander. Something christmasy for every day in December. I have always wanted to do all of these fun things to get in to the Christmas spirit and help me kids get reallt excited but I get busy and holiday anxiety gets to me and we miss out.Not this year my sisters and I made a list while we were together and I made up my calander. It was so much fun and the girls looked forward to it every day. Some days it was a big events and sometimes as small as reading a Christmas library book.
Here are a few highlights!
Here are a few highlights!
Grinch night. We had green snickerdoodles and "grinchtinis". After our treats we settled down to watch the Grinch and our DVD did not work. It was so sad but our friend Tom was there to save the day! He brought the grinch to our house. We had a graet movie and great company!
One of my moms friends invited all of us to go to a live nativity. It was really sweet and the girls loved the animals.
We ate really yummy cinnamon rolls one night for dinner.
We ate dinner in a tent one night. The best sloppy joes anyone could ask for.
We made Gingerbread houses one sunday night. We might have ended up using some hot glue and maybe Brynlee cried the whole time because she just wanted to eat all the candy.

What kind of mom doesn't let her girls eat hot glue!? :) Love the matching outfits in the tent (and I'm hoping the tent is inside the house since it's been -20 around here lately!)
How fun! Can you email me your list you came up with? I want to do more fun things with my kids during the holidays instead of being stressed out for a month. :)
