Advent
I have to say keeping up the advent calendar this week has been crazy. We’ve had a slew of meeting, ranging from PTA to pre-school pageant. It is like every group or organization we are in had to get in a December meeting this week.
I haven’t even finished attaching all the numbers to the calendar. A project leftover from last year. Things done and undone, right?
I try to balance fun stuff with things that relate to the Christmas story. Tonight the girls got star stickers. We talked about who followed a star, and what they were looking for.
Here are some of the other things we have done. Some of them are cards to follow clues to find something, or cards for an activity.
- Make teacher gifts
- birthday candles
- Make cookies with mom
- straw tied in a present- we talked about how it felt, and what kind of bed it would make for a baby
- write Christmas cards
- Then the old fall-back, M&M’s

Okay, I saw that I was on your list for handmade gifts. My blog is not a good place to find this stuff. I’m only just beginning in this department and am really only trying to steal ideas
I love the idea of handmade. Was wondering if you have any specific ideas for boys. OR if any of your readers do. It seems so easy and fun to find cute stuff for girls, but I have 3 boys and I think the choices are limited for them. What are your thoughts on this??
