Here are a few of our advent calendar activities and treats from December. I was really awful about it this year, but here are some of the better days...

Andrew was just busy sneaking frosting and candies!
No matter how un-Christmasy I was feeling, we couldn't forget the beautiful animals at the local shelter.

Another advent calendar surprise was to eat a North Pole Sundae. This was my idea inspired by, and while at Lagomarcino's. They had a sundae with a cute name and I thought of these chocolate dipped peppermint poles on top of peppermint ice cream, smothered (oh yes, I mean smothered) in Lagomarcino's hot fudge sauce. It was a hit!

Another activity was to make chocolate-covered candy canes... You can see Gianna really got into this one!

I was actually thinking about your advent calendar (before Christmas) because I remember you posting about it (was is a Martha Stewart idea?) and how much I LOVED IT! I love it even more that it was filled with more than just stuff - fun Christmas activities! Yet another fabulous idea from the Belgiorno clan!! GB-houses look beautiful, the dog treats are a lovely idea, LOVE the idea of a North Pole Sundae, and the candy-canes look like a fun job too. (I noticed a food theme here and I'm so on board!).
Thanks for sharing!!
