Advent

The girls really love our tradition of doing our advent each day through December.  They don’t let me forget!

Here are some of the fun things we did—not all of them, and not in order necessarily, because I don’t remember which day we did what.

Picnic under the Christmas tree.

Making packages for their little cousins.

Date with Grandma to make gingerbread houses.

Shopping dates—Elna and Georgia with me and Harriet with Brian—to shop for each other.

Musical concert at the temple’s visitors center to see Marilyn play the harp.

Roasting marshmallows in the fireplace.

Writing/drawing letters for Santa.

I love these pictures of Georgia!  She really likes to color!

Finished letters.

Close ups

Making rice krispie treats

Movie under the Christmas tree.

Breakfast out as a family

Love the panties over the jammies.

Making a birthday cake for Jesus.

I draw a little picture of what their activity will be each day.  These are some of the things we did in December.  I love this tradition of Christmas.
