Our activities are based on our already full schedule so there are times we have to do morning activities, times Daddy is at work, times that not all the kids are home, and we won't throw in the fact that we try to make these things all our babies will enjoy (from little bitty to middle school age)... it's a lot to work around! However, we love the memories we make doing all of these fun things. Many are favorites we bring back year after year so they have become traditions that are near and dear to our hearts!
So without further ado, here is what we'll be doing this year!

Many of these have a biblical basis (check out The ADVENTure of Christmas by Lisa Whelchel), and some are just good ol' fashioned fun! I'm always happy to answer any questions about what on earth we are doing or how we've tied it into our faith! I hope you follow along on Instagram (@mrsmarick) as I will be posting a pic there of each activity!
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas season as we prepare to celebrate Christ's birth!
