Pre Christmas Fun

Well I decided that with Lexie getting to the right age we could start really doing christmas this year.

We started with an Advent Calendar - every day another christassy type activity - obviously day one was make advent calendar. 

Lexie was a big help - I cut out the cardboard shapes and she stuck them onto the fabric - after a bit of pre cutting by me she then turned all the edges over snad stuck them down to finish the envelope then folded then along pre creased lines - She actually did a really good job of it - I was impressed - but after the day before I had expected as much - it looks like shes going to be a seamstree this one - check out her sewing attempts!

Other activities have been "Write a letter to Santa"  - consisted of her circling thing that she wanted in brochures, me cutting them out and her sticking them on the pice of paper and writing her name

And "Deliver said letter to Santa" Lexie was so excited about getting to see Santa - she got a great big hug and showed him her letter. It was so much fun - Josh on the other hand wasn't quite so enthused about it.....

 

Josh did however enjoy todays activity - gingerbread houses....  Lexie and I built the kit then all three of us sat down to decorate it - a blast was had by all.  Lexie and Josh did the roof all by themselves!
