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.
