Yesterday we decorated the Christmas tree, hung strings of lights on the windows and of course put up Jim's childhood Advent calendar. Last year I adopted an idea to replace candies or treats with experiences that led to lovely family memories. It was such a wonderful way to count down to Christmas that we decided it needed to be a family tradition. As much as we love chocolate, we would much rather savor sweet memories together than 25 sugary treats.
On each number is a rolled up piece of paper that tells the daily count down activity.
Today was...
And so we got out our glue sticks, sequins, googly eyes, and pom poms...
After all that hard work it was time for some fun!
on the Jungle Jim!
Check back for more Advent posts later this week!
