Well, we were going to make cookies today, but I ran out of a couple of ingredients. I don't joyfully go to the store with three kids in tow so going was out of the question. Hopefully we'll do that . . . soon. Instead of cookie baking, we hauled in the craft box from the garage to find it filled with all sorts of things! We inherited this box when my Grandma skipped town and we (well, just me really) were delighted to find it filled to the brim with Advent cheer! So thanks Grandma for filling in where I fell short on the Advent list! On the bright side, Aunt Kathy sent a bunch of Christmas cookie cutters and cookie frosting and my Mom gave us some new cookie cutters and festive holiday utensils . . . so we are halfway prepared!
Anyway, I also found a bunch of little glass ornaments so I think I might go get a small tree for Ike to decorate. I think he'd like something for his room! Anyway, just another idea in case you are running low on activities:) (I saw on Jamie's blog that they have a tree in the play room so thanks for the good idea!)

You are so creative!! Thanks for mentioning me! You have given me SO many great ideas. We went to see the reindeer today. We're also going to do the fancy dinner, go look at Christmas lights, make a gingerbread house, bake cookies, and there's more that I can't think of. So anyway, thanks for all of the great ideas! This really makes Christmas so much more fun for the girls! :)
Hey next time you run out of something just give me a call!! I'd LOVE to help you out! That's what neighbors are for!
Jamie, I loved your pictures of you and your family seeing the reindeer!
Nicole, thanks for being so nice and neighborly. I have a trip "planned" for today to get some things:)Do you need me to pick up anything while I'm there?
Just for the record, these ideas are not all mine:) I've borrowed them from other people as well:)
