We use an advent calendar at Christmastime to organize all of our Christmas activities. Every year, we make a list of the things we want to do during the month of December, and then I write each one down on a slip of paper and stick them into the pockets of our advent calendar. That way, there is something fun to do everyday until Christmas. Sometimes the activities are small like reading a Christmas story, and sometimes they are a little more adventuresome.
December 1st seemed to come a little quickly this year, so my calendar got started a little late. But this weekend, one of our activities was to go get the Christmas tree!
We like to go pick out a real tree for Christmas. I actually prefer heading out to the forest and picking out the perfect one there . . . but that isn't as easy to do here as it is in Washington. So . . . Home Depot is where we go.
The next day, our activity was to decorate the tree! I don't think Gwen really remembers decorating the tree in past years . . . she kept saying over and over how fun it was to decorate the tree. So fun!
More activity updates to come!
