Christmas Countdown: Day 19

Today we were wrapping up baking and gift wrapping, and the calendar suggested we make a marshmallow snowman. Thanks to a recent Family Fun magazine we one-upped them and made a marshmallow gingerbread man!

Christmas Countdown: Days 12 & 13

We have been learning about Christmas around the world--so today we made St. Lucia buns! Yum!

Yesterday, our countdown calendar suggested we make an elf hat--we bought clearance reindeer antlers instead!

Christmas Countdown: Day 10

We are running behind--which I think is always the story around Christmas. We finally got started tonight on a Christmas treat--a gingerbread house with walls made out of gingerbread Rice Krispie treats! These smelled amazing, and we are just waiting for them to harden and then we will start building tomorrow. As a fan of Jan Brett's The Gingerbread Baby, Lincoln insists we also have a gingerbread boy to go inside. We may be busy bakers tomorrow!
