I love advent calendars. The official countdown calendar. We have a few going as of TODAY! Happy Countdown to the celebration of our Savior's birth.

From Grandma Richards

A new creation this year that we are loving (Thank You!!!) This is mini muffin tin and inside each cup is chocolate (of course!) This is a really good time of year to have an even number of children (so they all get the same amount of turns! very important.)

Blocks


This is a craft I finished up today. I'm happy with the way it turned out and the math strengthening possibilities. I think we'll be moving it to the preschool room tomorrow!

Scriptures

Scripture readings for our morning devotional to take us through the events up to the Savior's birth.

Family Activity Surprise


Inside each cone is a treat (naturally) and an activity we can do together as a family. Tonight it read, "Decorate the tree." perfect!






"till the branches touch the clover"


Santa and his reindeer!
