First week of Advent in review

For the first week of Advent, Nov 29-Dec 6 was the launch of our Advent box and a TV free week. I won't lie, it was a challenge! I realized how much I used it as a 'babysitter' and how intense it is to be totally present to the girls all the time. They did play a lot on their own, but we also did a lot of family stuff. Here are some pictures documenting our time:

#1 - Paint everyone's toenails, even Daddy!


#2 - Build a fort and eat dinner in it



#3 -Play a game together. No picture for this, but we played Bingo and UNO

#4 - Have a play bath. No pictures for obvious reasons, but the girls had a pink bubble bath.

#5 - Make a Christmas craft - Mason Jar Lanterns



#6 - Get our Christmas Tree.


#7 - Bake Cookies...somehow I missed getting a picture of that...
#8 - Have a Christmas Party...again, no pictures but tons of friends and an all around great night.
#9 - Go out for ice cream as an afterschool snack to the local ice cream parlor.
#10 - Make teacher presents. We did start this, but didn't get done.

So there you have it, the first 10 days of Advent!
