Advent Activities {week 2}

Day 8

Random act of Christmas Kindness

Attach quarters to cards to place at various machines around town.

We went to a couple of places but this didn't work out as well as I had hoped.

One place wouldn't let us leave them there. We then headed to a nearby grocery store

and all the fun kid machines had been taken out :(  We did leave some at a pay

phone and a pop machine outside. I saw some newspaper machines around town

and I think we will go back and leave some there too. 

I did take a few cell phone pictures when we were out and about.

I also set for the kids to put together hot chocolate cups.

My goal was to pass these out while we were out and

about but that never happened. I think I am now going to turn them into 

treats for Jordan's classmates. Jordan loved putting them together though.

Day 9

rolo and pretzel treats

Both super easy and yummy.

Day 10

Leave treats and a card for our mail lady

Day 11 & Day 12

I combined the two days into one.

This is a traditional activity we do every year

Picnic dinner by the Christmas tree with the yule tide log playing.

This year we also watched the movie Ernest saves Christmas

Day 13

Decorate ornaments

Simple but can be a messy craft.

Jordan ended up dropping one ball that of course

rolled across the carpet leaving a nice long trail of paint.

I still loved how they turned out despite a few messes.

Day 14
We had a family Christmas party to go to
so I left them a joke and candy.
Here are a few pictures of kids from party.
