Christmas Advent Activities
My original idea was to post a different activity daily that our family did to celebrate the advent of Christmas during the month of December. Well...life happened and I'm behind. Instead, I'm just going to post a list of what we are doing instead. Maybe some pictures will come later. We'll see. As soon as school is out then we'll finally be able to slow down a bit and enjoy our stay-at-home vacation this year.

Your list sounds ambitious. I hope that you are able to get everything done. You will have a lot of good memories for your children.
