Week 3

Wow! Time is flying by. Christmas is 2 weeks away, and it seems like the season just started. Have fun this week, and remember the most important thing is spending time with the ones you love.

• December 14th - Go to a Christmas Concert! Our Church is doing their Christmas Cantata, so I will have Autumn in church with me instead of Sunday School, so she can enjoy it as well.


• December 15th- Love the smells of Christmas? I do! Today we are going to make an Orange Pomander ball! Simple to do and only requires ribbon, an orange, and whole cloves! Little hands can help with this one!


• December 16th- Story time! Tonight take time to read O. Henry's Gift of the Magi.


• December 17th- Cookie time! Bake cookies for a neighbor or friend! Simple sugar cookies are easy for younger kids to decorate. I let my daughter help me stir and add ingredients.


• December 18th- Today take time to donate items to a family in need. Gloves and winter hats would be a great thing to take. Or take food items to the Food Bank in your area.


• December 19th - Make breakfast for dinner! Pancakes and waffles anyone? Tint the pancakes in holiday colors, or make a Santa face with whip cream!


• December 20th- Build a snow man! Now this is for our Northern friends that have snow right now. If ya live in Texas like me, there is no snow in sight, unless ya count the sleet/ice, stayed on the ground white stuff we had for one day. BUT don't dis pare! Get thee to a store and pick up a can of cheap foam shaving cream! Place on table, or plastic sheet, and have fun! My two year old loves playing with it, and we get the added bonus of getting clean and smelling great. (and no frozen fingers and toes!)
