make sure to enter my christmas cd giveaway below! woot.
i had a few people ask if i would share our "daily december activities." and since you've been sharing your awesome ideas, i will gladly share my {not quite as awesome} ideas.
{remember i sort of like crafts, am mostly home everyday, and have little girls who *for the most part* will sit still. i've been collecting some new books & movies for the cause. of course some of the crafts will be done while piper naps, as my patience is thin with a 1 year old and glue. ...sorry moms of boys. you can just insert "sword fight with candy canes" wherever you'd like.}

I will be DEVASTATED if you don't show up at my door with sugar cookies. Just for the record.
THANK you! you are basically amazing...how on top of things are you?? i think i'm going to pass activities each day this year since max is interested but not SUPER interested in activities. i'll be stealing some ideas though and will DEFINITELY be coming back to this post again and again. you rock :)
thank you, thank you, thank you! I was just trying to put my advent activities together tonight and there are so many amazing ideas I can use from this!
impressive. i may have to copy this next year.
another reason why i need girls. my boys attention span for most of these would be close to zero! i'll just have to do them myself.
You never cease to amaze me! When do you have time to even search for all of these, let alone post them all? Who's daughter are you??? I want to be there to do them with you!
CUTE!! i'm so on the ball, i bet we actually complete 23-25 this year. :)
i'm heidi by the way, your hubby and my hubby are cousins. :) because of this, i am going to take the roll of family pest and ask how in the hecka did you get the pictures you did with a d40. i have said camera... my images. not looking like yours did. :) tell me, is is post processing or raw or sheer genius? :) davesgirl4evr@gmail.com
love love love the holiday season! the nativity felt story is such a great idea... how did you make your felt board?
i'm replying in your comments again... feel free to erase me. :) my sis in law has a rad lens, that i covet... what is your favorite lens? the one you rely most on? i have two, but neither are giving me what i want. sorry to ask so much of you! but geez! i have accepted my annoyingness and have no shame now. :) that kristen. :)
Okay!! So I need to know where you got all your cute numbers from?? I would LOVE to do something like this but can never find cute numbers for it!! So please share.
How fun! I love all the traditions and activities that come with Christmas. These are brilliant ideas for getting in the spirit. I think I may start doing these next year.
