Christmas Countdown Days 9, 10, 11, and 13

Wow-wee!

The Christmas Crunch is upon us 

here in 

The Fantastic Five Household,

so we have had to find new ways to 

incorporate all the activities from our

Truth in the Tinsel

advent  calendar...

************************************

Our elf, Chester,

has still been appearing each morning

in a new spot...

...trying to give the kiddos hints about 

what part of the Biblical Christmas Story

our Advent Calendar will talk about for the day.

(He is laying on a pillow here to hint about Day 10,

which is all about Dreams,

specifically about Joseph's dream

in Matthew 1:18-25...)

******************************************

So,

how did we fit in

making 4 ornaments into one day?

With the use of Pearler Beads,

of course!

We really love all that you can do with

Pearler Beads...

 The kiddos each did

a few different designs...

 ...to represent...

 ...the days of the Advent Calendar.

 Here are their final creations...

 Day 9: Joseph

 Day 10: Dreams

(These are pillows...)

 Day 11: The Name of Jesus

Can you see...

  ...Messiah's name?

Day 13: Bethleham

(We saved Day 12- The Census- to go with

Days 14-16 since all of them apply to the same

passage of scripture.)

The kiddos are very proud of their designs-

and I am too!  :0)
