Advent Days 1-5

Hooray!  It's time for the advent calendar!   Here's what we've been up to so far:

Day 1: Watch a Christmas movie with friends.  We went to our friend Evan's house and watched The Polar Express.  

Day 2: Make a paper chain.  Okay, this is the most simple activity ever, but Alex really liked it.  We decorated some of the chain links (until Alex got tired of it), and put them together.  He had fun counting them.

Day 3: Make a Christmas game with Daddy.  (I wasn't home to take a picture of them working on it this year, but they had lots of fun!)

Day 4: Make reindeer cookies.

Day 5: Make Christmas cards for kids in the hospital.  Alex traced the body of this gingerbread man from a cookie cutter but drew the decorations himself.
