Countdown til Christmas

Jackson is so excited about Christmas this year, he can hardly stand it!! So I decided we might need some structured activities to make it through the month of December. In addition to counting down the days with our Advent Calendar (my mom actually made me this one when I was a little girl),


we have an activity card for each day. We pull a card to find out what kind of activity we will being doing that day.


So far we have made footprint/handprint reindeer,

played Christmas dominoes,


made chocolate covered pretzels for Jackson's teachers, played a Santa dice game, and made a wish list for Santa.


Jackson wrote his very own list on the orange paper, and together we made a tree with all of the Johnson's Christmas wishes (some of us got more wish ornaments than others).

We even got daddy in on the action when we made piper cleaner Christmas trees.


Here are the finished products. You can't even tell who did which one!


Only 13 more days to go!
