Dare to Deck the Halls Features

It’s Friday!  WOOHOO!  Today the kids get out of school 2 hours early and Christmas break commences!  Chris works retail, so he will be working all weekend…. but the kids and I have plans to make cookies for Santa and the reindeer, make these little elves, and listen to our neighbors sing at their church service.  We are going to have ourselves a festive time!

This week was the last week for Dare to DIY.  I had a blast hosting with Kim, Michelle, and Rachel.  Today we are each sharing our favorites from this week’s Dare to Deck the Halls!

My picks are both unique and kid-friendly advent calendars.

First up, there is this rockin’ dinosaur advent calendar from Boxy Colonial.  Sawyer was big into dinosaurs when he was 3 and would have ADORED this.  Heck, I think he still would love it.  I am 35 and I love it!

And secondly, I adore this paper tree advent calendar from Ye Olde Sandwich Shoppe.  I love that the kids were involved in creating it as well as enjoying it!

Before I sign off, I also wanted to thank Suzy of Worthing Court for allowing me to share a favorite photo from my Christmas house in her house snoopers Christmas edition today!  Head on over to check it out!

I hope all of your holiday rushing and shopping is done as it is here so that you may relax and enjoy the glory of this magical season!  Wishing you a very happy weekend!

    The advent trees are so very pretty! Heading over to Worthing Court. My kids finish school in a couple of hours. Hopefully I can get them to make dinner tonight 🙂

    Happy cookie making! I’m sad the Dare to DIY has come to a close. It’s like taking down the tree. Sad.
