Advent Calendar… Day Two

We started our Advent Calendar yesterday.  Grace and Hannah came up with a deal: Hannah can open each door and take out the paper, if Grace can read each one.  That sounded good to each one, so that is what they have been doing.  Hannah loves to open each door and grab the paper that is inside – to her it is a new present each today.  Grace loves to read the assignment for each day – she LOVES the power that it holds!  :) 

Here is what our calendar looks like:

Yesterday we had to get ready for the MAGNIFY! Christmas Event that Grace and I attended in the evening.  Hannah was sad that she couldn’t go, but she may be able to next year.  BTW… Hannah knows just about ALL of the verses that Grace recited last night.  I will try to remember to take a video of her today so I can post that… HYSTERICAL.. WHAT A WOMAN!

Today we made  Popcorn Garland for our tree as the activity.  It was nice to have Danny home to pop the popcorn (he is an expert thanks to my mom!) and take the pictures of the event!  He made a bowl to string and a bowl to eat.. yup, we were planning on lots of eating during this activity!  You can’t help but string one and then eat one. 

This is serious business… can’t you tell?
