Adventures of Elfie: Day 4

On the counter this morning was a note from Elfie. It said, "you'll never find me!" It took about 8 seconds before Jackson said, "look, he's up in the tree!" I guess Elfie isn't as tricky as he thinks ;)

Jackson wanted to draw a picture of himself for Elfie, so he used the other whiteboard and drew himself in his blue jammies.

Day 2 in their Advent calendar had some peanut m&ms and the activity for the day. Today it said "make snow angels in the snow". Thank goodness it was warmer than yesterday! Right after Jackson got off the bus, they put on their snow pants and headed outside. Jackson laid right down and knew exactly what to do. Madelyn was a little hesitant at first, but made multiple "no angels" after she figured it out!

Tonight we read Day 4 in our Advent book. It was another story about stars and the activity was to make a star ornament. I am loving our little Advent tree!

I just love, love, love this time of year! Its a lot of work to coordinate everything, keep it all straight and create new surprises and experiences each day, but seeing the excitement and wonder in their faces is 100% worth it! Plus, I am having way too much fun :)
