We did Advent Activites last year and it was a big hit with Keira, so we will be keeping the tradition alive this year too.
need ideas for your own Advent Activties countdown, check out pinterest.com, I have a lot of
fun things on my Christmas board. http://pinterest.com/nesser1981/christmas-ideas/
You notice that our first activity is Elroy the Elf arrives, this will be our very first year doing Elf on the Shelf. Find ideas here. I honestly thought the little guy was pretty creepy looking until last year when I saw a few girls posting photos of their elf doign fun things leading up to Christmas. I'm starting my list of things our little guy will attempt to pull off this year. We'll see how it goes. LOL!
