We are having a great time with these Advent Surprises. It has helped me so much .... to stay focused on what is really important. This time of year ... even when we do not buy much... we still give gifts to our children. So that makes seven that I buy for. I always make Christmas candy... and we always make goodies for the neighbors, we try to adopt a needy family or senior, we also participate in 7 Baskets... where we give out food to the community. All that to say... I can get really busy and lose my focus. Doing our Advent Surprises has been a great way to make memories and spend time with my children. Simple activities .... but they love them!
Hope you are enjoying your family this week before Christmas!

My friend and I give cookies to my neighbors every year too. We get together one Saturday and make up a bunch of cut outs. We decorate them with tips and frosting and sprinkles. Then we give them to my elderly neighbors along with a Christian Christmas card. It is soo fun. I love the ornaments too, btw :) Merry Christmas!
