Our second week of Advent has been busy and fun! It feels like we've been crafting up a storm. Here we go:
Day 8: Celebrate Auntie Jo's birthday by making her favorite cake
 |
| stirring up the strawberry cake |
 |
| W concentrates on the icing |
 |
| L thinks it's hard work |
 |
| N "accidentally" gets a LOT of icing on his hands |
Day 9: Drink hot cocoa from Christmas mugs (with plenty of marshmallows) and sing Christmas Carols together as a family
Day 10: Make Christmas T-shirts
 |
| Yes, we have matching Christmas shirts. Yes, we are cheesy. Yes, we love it. |
Day 11: Make handprint snowmen ornaments
 |
| Some of them look like ducks...but I'm not anal about making things look "perfect" when they were made by my boys. The perfection is in the imperfection. |
Day 12: Learn about the angel Gabriel's announcement to Mary and make angel puppets
Day 13: Make (and EAT!) ice cream cone Christmas trees
 |
| L is proud of his creation |
 |
| W can't stop giggling! |
 |
| N "accidentally" makes a mess with his icing that he needs to clean...er...lick...up |
 |
| look, ma, no hands! |
Day 14: Celebrate Jesus' birthday with cupcakes, candles, and the birthday song!
 |
| Happy Birthday, dear Jesus! Happy Birthday to YOU! |
 |
| delicious North Pole cupcakes with a peppermint stick and a sprinkling of sugar to look like snow |
