Today's book was <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Eloise-Decorates-Christmas-Kay-Thompson/dp/141694978X" target="_blank">'Eloise Decorates for Christmas'</a> By Kay Thompsen and others<br />
<br />
We're big Eloise fans! Tonight our accompanying craft was to make snowman decorations of our own, with photos to give to friends! <br />

Yup, It's official, I'm a fair weather blogger. Actually, since I seem to only be blogging our holiday fun, I guess that makes me a crap-weather blogger. But I digress.... This year we're doing our advent countdown a little differently. We're SO busy with dance, play practice, shows, homework, etc. that we just don't have time to do an activity everyday. So, this year "the elves" are bringing a new book everyday until Christmas, and some of those days (when we have more time), there are activities to go with the book. I'm really excited for some of them, particularly "N.H.Elf Hockey" to go with the book "Z for Zamboni." <br />
<br />
Day One: <a href="http://www.sourcebooks.com/store/santa-is-coming-to-vermont.html" target="_blank">'Santa is Coming to Vermont'</a> By Steve Smallman <br />
<br />
I was delightfully surprised by this. I know they make these for each state, so I thought it would be totally generic, but it wasn't. There were some amazing illustrations of some of our favorite spots throughout the state! <br />
<br />
Her activity was to write a Christmas list for Santa, which I assumed we would mail, but she thought it would be better to just have the elves bring it back to Santa when they came to drop off her new book the next morning. Good thinking kid! <br />

You will need approximately 34534509586409864556 bobby pins for this. ;-)<br />
I hot glued the googly eyes to regular-sized bobby pins, and the nose to a mini bobby pin (although who even knows where that came from!) I found it in the drawer in our bathroom, and had never seen them that size before. This took forever because she has more hair than a small country, but I think we're going to try it again for her school's 'Red and Green Day'.<br />

Since we had Viv's Nutracker performance today, the "elves" delivered her a ballerina ornament for the occasion. After the show we tried out the new build-your-own frozen yogurt place in town to celebrate, and we LOVED it! Between this place and the new Thai restaurant we're in food heaven lately!<br />

The Viv and Daddy movie night has been a tradition since the beginning, and so this year was no exception (and afforded me the opportunity to go watch a Tracy/Hepburn movie and wrap gifts in the other room). Such cuties! <br />
I used the FREE site <a href="http://www.printwithmypic.com/" target="_blank">Print With My Pic</a> to make the tickets!<br />

We've had these strange little jars (I have no idea where they came from) for a few years, and thought they might be cute to use for making our snowglabes. I had originally intended to use mason jars, but the figurines we found were on the small side.<br />
<br />
To make these, all you have to do is:<br />
- Hot glue waterproof figurines to the lid of a glass jar (make sure you can put the lid on the jar!)<br />
- Add glitter and water<br />
- After putting the lid on the jar, seal by hot-gluing around the edge of the lid<br />

I was so exhausted when I typed the elf note for this that I didn't even register the awkward word spacing. Whoops. Errr... I mean, wow, those elves sure can't type! But I digress... since I knew we would have a bit of extra time this morning, I planned a Frozen themed breakfast for Viv and Nana J. Viv already told me that my Sven was not fantastic. Noted, I will work on my pancake artistry ;-)<br />

This week is pretty light on activities because of play practices and performances. Between all of that and work and school, we had to choose things that were simple. <br />
<br />
We do this one every year, and Viv really loves it. She actually tried
to get us to do this one about a week ago. This year we also read the
book "Santa and the Christ Child" which is wonderful, and i highly
recommend it.</div>

(Reindeer Games Part I.)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Today we played our first Reindeer Game of the year, "Snowman Slam"! This literally took 3 minutes to make and she played it for almost an hour after school! <br />
<br />
Someone asked me where I made my photo layout from yesterday. I actually created it using a free design app called <a href="http://www.canva.com/" target="_blank">Canva</a>. I created a template, so all I have to do is change the day number and drag in my (poorly taken, low quality iphone) photos. It takes about 2 minutes! <br />

Advent is here and we have so much planned! The schedule for Viv's Christmas play is a little more of a time committment than we anticipated, so several days this week will be fairly low-key in terms of activities.<br />
Today we made peppermint-scented Christmas play dough (with glitter!). This only took about 10 minutes once we had all the ingredients together. Recipe and instructions below!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=823305405523284383" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=823305405523284383" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguFqDcd4rcvX3aDH1OvKichrwjbvAyD_sp_N4TVqY3WgeoDDRFO9cMzF45MxzzIkKG90-E0Fuk4GJsAf2T09E73WUcmONBKHFlfcrVmgW95fV2yuDX9vRR3_JfqKzPVPE8eP9LqgGiAYE/s1600/Advent2014.png" height="640" width="426" /></div>
Ingredients (measurements are <i>per color</i>):<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>1 Cup flour</li>
<li>1/2 Cup salt</li>
<li>1 Cup water</li>
<li>2 Tablespoon vegetable oil</li>
<li>1 Teaspoon cream of tarter </li>
</ol>
Mix ingredients together in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until it boils and becomes thick. Cook an additional 30 seconds or until the mixture pulls away from the pan.<br />
<br />
Some prefer to kneed the food coloring in after it is removed from the stove, but I find that the color is more vibrant if added while the mixture is still in the warm liquid stage.<br />

I've been doing a lot of thinking as of late, about the holiday season, and what it means to me. I love Christmas. <i>Love</i> it. For many reasons, all of which are very meaningful and personal. <br />
<br />
It's our tradition, each December, to do a different event, craft, or activity each day until Christmas. We incorporate traditional religious activities, family traditions, and little treats. Nothing huge, just fun activities to enjoy as a family. Lots of crafts. Because, well, I love crafts. In a season that is extremely busy, this allows us the chance to stop the rushing around and focus on each other.<br />
<br />
I've gotten a lot of questions as to why last year I stopped posting my usual photos of these events after day three, so here goes. <br />
<br />
It's no secret that I post a lot of photos. That is one of the main purposes of social media, no? So posting photos about our advent activities seemed natural. I adore seeing the photos and adventures of friends and family, and I have consistently gotten positive feedback about how much they love seeing our photos and crafts that we post. <br />
<br />
Until last year.<br />
<br />
Last year, I was told that when people post photos online of their family activities, it is "self-serving," and "only for show." Not me specifically, but anyone who does this. <br />
<br />
Wait, <i>what? </i><br />
<br />
And then I was told that posting about our Christmas crafts was "braggy" (a statement which was repeated to me again this summer when I posted a photo of a sewing project my daughter and I were doing).<br />
<br />
While I would never, ever post our crafty or holiday fun for any reason other than that people seem to like to see them, I'm not above saying that these statements hurt my feelings. So much so that I discontinued posting here altogether. <br />
<br />
And then last month I was discussing holiday traditions with my dearest friend Kiki (<a href="https://frugalfowlerproject.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">The Frugal Fowler Project</a>), a woman I consider far more wise than her years (not to mention extremely tolerant of my shenanigans... like calling her "Kiki"). She asked me why I would let the (rather unkind)opinion of one person outweigh all the positive response I've gotten. <br />
<br />
Oh. <br />
Well now, that *does* make sense.<br />
I <em>swear</em>, she is the only reason I ever make any rational decisions. <br />
<br />
My intent in sharing this was certainly not to blast the individual that responded negatively, and I hope it doesn't seem that way. But this year, I'm back to doing the holidays my way! Tomorrow, the Magic Christmas mailbox will return, and along with it, my photos. <br />
<br />
And as I said, I adore seeing crafts (holiday or no) and activities that others! L-O-V-E it. <em>Love</em>. Facebook posts, Instagram, Pinterest, whatever. Bring on the photos! I can't wait!<br />
