Day #12 {advent calendar}


On our 12th day of christmas {aka: advent calendar} we made a Gumdrop Winter Wonderland!  

This took much effort on the kids part.  
             #1 - For not eating them!!!  
             #2 - Poking the cupcake sprinkles in the gumdrops
              were a little tedious, especially for Meg.
             #3 - Owen could care less what we were doing, all 
              he knew was that there was candy, and he  
              was there!  Need I say more!?

With the past 12 days behind us, I have learned some things about our kids . . . 
             - Kali is the 'artsy-fartsy' one always asking "can we  
             do something crafty?"
            - Meg likes to be entertained . . . with Christmas 
             books or movies. {the least effort the better} 
             - Owen just wants to eat!!  If there's candy involved, 
             he eats it.  If there's no food involved . . . he wants
             POPCORN!!!  I swear he needs to be on a Carls 
             Jr. commercial . . . "Don't bother me, I'm eating!"

Very cute! Maybe too crafty for me . . . What's in the bottom?

I showed this to my daughter and she said 'I would like that for my birthday.'
Thanks for making that one easy for us this year! This is such a rad idea.

I was supposed to get special flakey sugar (probably expensive), but opted for the fake snow in a bag bought at Target.

Lisa, this is so cute!! Where are you getting your ideas? If you will share. Now that we have a girl I need to start being more 'artsy-fartsy'.
