We're getting so close to Christmas! This countdown has been super fun, especially for me. I think Natalie's favorite part is ripping the paper off the books each night, but she has only been showing mild interest in actually sitting through a full reading of most of them. I know that next year this tradition will be even more fun!
Night 12: The Berenstain Bears Trim the Tree
Night 13: Willie: the Moose Who Saved Christmas
Night 14 I forgot to take pictures, but the book was Santa's Book of Names.
Night 15: The Snowman, gifted by Jay & Amelia
Night 16: How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Night 17: Saturday our activity was to check out the Christmas lights around town. So fun!
Night 18: We made thumbprint Christmas cards, like this "string of lights" one that Natalie gave to her daddy. We also received a surprise package in the mail this week from Auntie Lindsay, and added it to our rotation: The Jolly Christmas Postman. Such a good one!
I totally am doing this advent book thing next year! I've got a good start on books so far but the idea of wrapping them kills me (I HAAAATE wrapping LOL)
ReplyDeleteAnd those thumb print cards? Totally doing that yet this week!
I swear, you are brilliant when it comes to creating or finding these ideas!
I love love loved the Jolly Postman books as a kid! Well done Lindsay!
ReplyDeleteHa, I like Mike's card.
Fitra2009's right, Hilary: These are nice "articles". I hope you do, in fact, give us some your comment into their blog and following it back too.
