Advent Countdown

We have been busy with our Advent countdowns.

We delivered food to the SPCA for the cats,

wrote a thankful list,

went to a magic show, which the kids loved.

 Here the kids are getting ready for another activity.

This day we read the story of the angel visiting Mary.

The kids snuggled down in some blankets, 

we had the Christmas lights plugged in on the tree

the room was dim (I just couldn't figure out how to take the picture to show that)

and we read the story

then sang some Christmas songs

The kids loved it

and we had fun!

To update you on the bird food craft,

I used peanut butter to get the seeds to stick

I forgot to mention that step!

It took the birds a day to figure out they were hanging in the tree

I was nervous how they would stay with the rain we had

but they were fantastic

they held up well

now they are empty so I've just been spreading the seed on our trampoline

we have a number of birds now so I didn't want to disappoint them

I really enjoy watching them each day
