This year we started a new tradition. Now that the kids are older, it's so fun to do activities with them and start fun traditions that I hope we continue to do for years to come! This one was super easy and inexpensive to make. The hard part was remembering to do the activity or craft for the day ;)
So our Advent activities went like this:
1. Create a paper chain for decorating
2. Decorate the tree and house
3. Color a picture of the nativity
4. Decorate the kids bedroom
5. Read a Christmas book
6. Do puzzles and make mistletoe
7. Watch Elf and make popcorn
8. Make a snowman ornament
9. Write a list of things you appreciate about each member of the family
10. Make hot chocolate and do a Christmas trivia game
11. Make Christmas cards for our neighbors
12. Have a candlelit dinner
13. Look at the stars
14. Go see Santa
15. Make pancakes for breakfast
16. Watch Veggie Tales: The Star of Christmas and make popcorn
17. Drive around and look at Christmas lights
18. Play Go Fish and make hot chocolate
19. Make and wrap teacher's gifts
20. Camp out by the Christmas tree
21. Watch Veggies Tales: St. Nicholas Story
22. Bake cookies for neighbors
23. Bake a Happy Birthday Jesus cake
24. Read the Christmas Story in Luke/ Go to our Christmas Eve candlelight service
25. Watch The Grinch and make popcorn
We did about 98% of everything which I felt very good about! I think it made our Christmas season so special. Can't wait for next year!
Hope yall had a wonderful Christmas with your families celebrating the birth of our Savior!
