ADVENT ACTIVITY CALENDER - day 4

Advent activity day 4-

today we built a gingerbread house. and when i say "build" i mean, "eat" Jon thought it would be cool to do a Disney gingerbread house, and for just a few dollars more, we did..until we opened it and realized the only difference was the paper cut outs that go on the front gingerbread lawn...well.

...there are your $3 Whinny the Pooh cut outs.

Wonder what the Advent Activity Calender will hold for us tomorrow...

ADVENT ACTIVITY CALENDER - day 3

Today was a great day again,

Maya is getting the hang of opening the scrolls with great enthusiasm! Today we brought some baking up to some people in Vanderhoof that we love. We are so thankful for the Bylsma family, they are the most wonderful people ever, so we brought them a big box of baking. we also brought some baking and a coffee up to Daddy at work, he was pleased, but i didn't get any pictures...booo-urns.

Then we got all bundled up and headed out for the light up parade. it was great fun, we met the Blysmas and watched the beautiful parade of lights. It wasn't too cold and we had a great time getting some candy ad watching!

It was also Midnight Madness, and the stores were open till midnight..duhh.

well, i got to go with Katie and shop the night away! how fun!!!!

cant find jon?? look under the white beard :) hehehe
We hit up neighbour link afterwards for some hot chocolate and some cupcakes!!

ADVENT ACTIVITY CALENDER - day 2

another exciting advent activity.

Today Jonathan is away for work today, so we had the whole morning and didn't have to rush home for lunch.
I love days like today, they make me appreciate my kids and remember how much fun it actually is to be a mom!
we started out the day by finding #2. then when we were all ready we headed up town. first we had to buy Maya new snow pants. After our activity yesterday we realized Mayas capris i mean snow pants are way to short! then we got the mail and headed out for a special snack. Maya was allowed to choose WHATEVER she wanted!!

ADVENT ACTIVITY CALENDER - day 1

so, today was the first day of our ADVENT ACTIVITY CALENDER and what a fun day it was. we started out by letting Maya look closely for the #1 then she found it and went right for the scroll.
we have been talking about it for a few days, so she knew what to expect.
today, was snowman day. but, it wasn't good snow so we just played and made snow angels. Maya enjoyed shoveling and thought it was hilarious that Peanut would always try to bite her shovel.
