Week 4!! It's CHRISTMAS!

Wow! What a fun past few weeks. I know I have had a blast with all the things I have done with my daughter. :)



  • December 21st- Having the family over for Christmas? Decorate a table cloth for the holiday table! Take a plain white table cloth, and have your children decorate it with holiday things using fabric markers. Have each of them sign it and put the date. It's washable because of the fabric paint, and can be added to over the years. Some idea's for decorating include: A large tree, holiday messages to loved ones, Christmas memories, etc. (this can also be a great Birthday idea as well.

  • December 22nd - Don't forget our feathered friends! Taking a walk? Bring some bird seed along for the birds. In our town we have a great little park with duck that love bread. This time of year, there aren't as many tourists out to feed them, so we are heading to the park today to feed the duckies.


  • December 23rd- Wrap presents! And an even better idea, is to take plain paper and decorate it yourself with stamps and paint! Don't have stamps? Make some using potatoes. Make sure to let the paper dry before you wrap the presents.


  • December 24th- Read "The Night Before Christmas" to your children at bedtime! Tonight our family will go to church, and once our little one is bed, we put the presents out. Another thing we will do tonight is of course leave out cookies and milk for Santa, along with using baking soda to make footprints from the fireplace for our daughter to find in the morning! :)

  • December 25th- HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS! And Merry Christmas as well. Today we are having a cupcake to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

I hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas this year! I also hope that everyone had fun getting ideas on what to do during the holiday with your children. The best gift ever is time spent making memories, and I hope that this little blog was able to help.
