December Advent

My friend Laura has the greatest ideas, and one of my favorites is her December Advent idea. She doesn’t wrap a bunch of little gifts to be opened each day, or a piece of candy to eat, she puts a little tag on each day of her advent calendar and does a little Christmas activity each day. How fun is that? We have come up with a list of things and I will be posting as we go.
Day 1: we had FHE and read our little book about Baby Jesus while letting Owen and Olivia play with a little nativity we have. We set it up in their room.
Day 2: we made snowball cookies. We made lemon meltaways and then shook them up in a baggy full of snow (powdered sugar) and enjoyed them (see picture above).
Day 3: we visited Santa at Lenox mall. By the way, if you are interested in visiting Santa, he is a good one...real hair AND beard!
