Once again, I did Advent activities for each day of December this year. And once again, some were a hit and some were not. Actually, there were fewer activities this year that were really exciting for both boys. Stirling is at a stage where he doesn't want to do any "learning" activities, and really doesn't like to do a lot of what mom says. But we did have a few that were more fun for the boys. They liked "painting" the snow with spray bottles with colored water and playing in sensory bin filled with cotton balls, ribbon, and sequins. We made clothespin reindeer, decorated candy houses, and also had fun making and playing with sparkly peppermint scented playdoh. Stirling loved sitting by the tree and reading Christmas books before bed at night.
Of course the boys really enjoyed opening presents on Christmas morning, and we were all really glad to be able to spend Christmas with Moira, Brian, Mackenzie, Opa, and Ry for the first time in years. The three cousins were so cute together in their Christmas jammies!
Merry Christmas!
