December 1st: Decorate the Yard
Wow, only one day into December and I forgot December daily 😂😂😂. Thanks Abbey Richards for posting yours! This year is so weird as our Christmas tree is still upstairs in the forbidden forest! It’s always been up right after Thanksgiving 🤷♀️. I’m not ready to take apart Maia’s birthday though, so I put Decorate the Yard as our first advent activity. I found some new aqua lights to line the garden bed and driveway, and Maia and Eric decorated the maple out front with some new purple rain led lights! And I got to put out my new Christmas dragon which was my gift from the girls last year 🥰. So cute!
We also started our daily advent calendars. I went easy and prepackaged for these. Sera got Wicked, DZ got a Gravitrax marble run, and Maia got a couple different slime/putty calendars. Maia and I are also doing an escape room advent, with some help from Eric. So fun!
Some of these smelled SO good! Especially the gumdrop.
I love doing Escape Room advents with Maia! She actually wants to finish them almost daily! =)
Even Finn got an Advent Calendar this year. He really loved his cookies!!!
