Advent: Days 13-16

Day 13:Watched The Nativity & talked about why we celebrate Christmas. It feels difficult to explain to such a young audience the importance of the Savior- why we need Him, what He did here on earth & what that means for each of us. In the end the boys seemed to grasp onto the thought that Christmas is a big birthday party for Jesus & that He loves each of us. That will have to suffice for now :) ... Have you seen this new video? I loved the British accents because it reminded me of my BBC flicks!


Day 14: Snow art. It was food coloring + water in squirt bottles. (Idea compliments of pinterest.)


Day 15: Made neighbor gifts (another pinterest idea)


Day 16: Delivered the "root deer"

Love the snow art and root deer ideas, so cute and kid friendly. Think it would work on sand? :)
