And here it is! What we do for school electives all December. Our advent activities are the most serious of traditions. My kids wait for this moment for weeks and honestly I do too! We have a ton of family filled fun each year and as the years pass I realize more and more how fast all of this time with my family goes. My oldest is 18 this year and although he is still living at home, he graduates this year and is planning on going into the military. I have made this list especially set up so that he can do things with us (his girlfriend too, when possible).
I hope everyone takes the time to set up a crafty, fun-filled, family tradition like this! These are memories that we will take with us for a lifetime.
