We are still doing our Advent Activities. Over the weekend, the whole family had a sleepover at our friends' house. It was a lot of fun, and nice to play one of our favorite games "Settlers of Catan", but then not have to pack all the kids up late at night and head home. On Sunday night we got in our pajamas and went to something around here called the "Fantasy of Lights". It's a big display of Christmas lights at the Alum Creek State Park. The proceeds this year benefit "Recreations Unlimited", a very cool place that provides different types of camps for kids with various special needs. Other Advent activities have included, frosting cookies, completing Christmas mazes, word scrambles, and other such puzzles, and participating in fun activities.

Today the boys did a Christmas Scavenger Hunt. Conor, Garrett, and Toby followed the clues and searched around the house for some Christmas Sugar Cookies at the end. They had fun; it's always challenging thinking up clues that rhyme! :)
Today was finally our kids' last day of school, so we are officially on break. Caris hasn't been participating in the Advent Activities, but she's being cute in her own way, anyway!
LOVE the hat on Caris! She is TOO cute! And, thumbs up to you for the fun and creative advent ideas.
