Advent Calendar Activities

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... 

Isabella's roof design...

Gianna's roof design...

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!

An easy-on-me advent calendar day...

 Oh, I miss Christmas already...

I will finish posting this trip yet!  And as you can tell, I had fun experimenting with fonts this morning!
