Christmas Countdown

Since we're staying at home for Christmas this year (for the first time since Mark and I got married)...I decided we needed some fun Christmas activities to help pass the time (not that I needed anything to help the time go by - what with trying to get ready for Christmas AND a new baby at the same time...what were we thinking!!!)

I had the boys paint a big tree. Then we painted 25 red ornaments and made designs on them with glitter. Next, I wrote an activity on the back of each ornament and we put them on the tree. Then we put the whole thing on the wall and the boys got to pull one off every day and see what activity we would be doing that day. It was fun. I think I'll do it again next year (with a few minor tweeks)

The finished product (minus a few ornaments...I didn't take the picture until a few days later)
