10 Days to go...

The kids got this in their little boxes as a clue of what the activity would be:

The activity was to string beads to make some cool necklaces. There were some cool beads to choose from:

And Prince Charming was pretty interested in the activity because a moving string is pretty tempting...

Lots of concentration going on...

Wow! Look at this!

About the Advent Calendar project

This year I decided to make my girls their very own advent calendar. I made 48 little gift boxes (24 for each girl) and inside is a little chocolate, but also a fun activity we could do all the way until the 24th of December. The focus is on fun, tv-free (except for the movie day) and creative activities that we could do together and one of the activities will be about "giving". Where you make something and give it to somebody without expecting anything back in return. That it is all about making others happy and brightening their day.

This year, the countdown sure will be a whole lot more fun :-) and hopefully the start of a new tradition which one day the girls might want to share with their kids.
