festivus becomes us
Since the Bean is now old enough to know what the heck is going on most of the time, we've decided to try and establish some sort of traditional holiday happenstance. I got the idea of an activity advent from Loobylu, who is a billion times more creative and talented than I am. Still, I managed to come up with twenty-four holiday-related activities, wrote each one a tag, then put them all in a glass jar. Some of the activities have gifties (for instance..."Party bath!" has fizzy bath bombs and sparkle Santa shower gel from the dollar bin at Target.)
Every night, the Bean will pick one card and I will attempt to photograph and post the ensuing activity. That way, perhaps I can stem the tide of bitter hate mail that comes my way about my lack of posting...HUSBAND.
Our first night's activity was building snowmen ornaments to give as gifts. I totally cheated and had him pick that one out of the jar since I was feeling crafty.
After the initial excitement of picking out the card and opening the little present, it was pretty much all me hot gluing beads onto pipe cleaner while the Bean yelled about turning the tee-bee on, but hey. That in and of itself could be the start of a beautiful family tradition.
See you tomorrow!
