Advent Fun

We have been having fun playing with our different Advent activities....I will have to get some more pics of the others we have been enjoying. We try to "teach" the Christmas story and birth of Jesus while we play. This was handed down to the girls from Marmee and I think my Mamasan might have gotten it for us at one point. Anyways...technically you are supposed to put one new figure on each day...but after explaining that about 5 times to a two and one year old, they just look at me, shake their heads and continue to put all the figures on. Oh well...makes a nice play activity...that is if we can work on our SHARING skills....hehe....Angel would like to really play and arrange the figures while Emma would like to grab them and RUN. Maybe I should not have hung it within their reach!! I do think it is weird that they made Mary in pink since she is almost always in blue....and I wish the wise men would come AFTER his birth...makes it hard to explain the Epiphany when they are already there!! Technicalities...technicalities...
