Day #13 {advent calendar}

We've done so much fun stuff for our activities, sometimes it seems like we are avoiding the real reason for Christmas.  BUT . . . I do have more activities that involve the birth of Jesus.  

Here is what we did tonight.  I printed these on cardstock, cut them out, and gave each of the kids a puzzle to work on.  I've commented in the past what kind of personality Meg has, so I thought she of all people, would think this was boring.  But to my surprise she was SUPER excited to do a puzzle.  So while they were working on putting it together, we talked about the REAL reason for Christmas.
