Advent calendar

The Advent calendar has been a big hit around here this month.  It's sure kept our mornings busy, as it's the first thing Henry wants to do bright and early at 7am (after he finds Helper Elf, of course).  He's even getting a little picky - one morning after I read him what our activity was going to be that day, he said, "I don't like that idea; can we do yesterday's project again?" 

Here are just a few.....

pajama storytime/Christmas party at our local library with a special reading of "The Polar Express"

making gingerbread houses after church last Sunday

Santa faces

cutting, coloring, and glueing the body parts on the snowman

.....and many more!
