I helped the kids make paper chains today to countdown to Christmas. It is a nice thing to do at this age because they have more of a visual of how long until Christmas. Noah especially feels like Christmas is TOO far away so I hope this helps him deal with the time a little better. Between tearing off a chain link and having a chocolate from his advent calendar he has something to look forward to every day and hopefully the wait won't seem too long. It was a fun little craft time this evening and I really enjoyed doing it with them. Even Daddy sat down for a few minutes and made a couple paper snowflakes for the kids. It was a great evening.
The kids each put the stickers on theirs to decorate it. Noah's is the one above and Zoey's is below. Zoey did almost all the chains by herself and Noah did most of his with some help from Mom.
They were excited and just had to take a picture with their works of art. They can't wait for tomorrow to tear off the first chain.

Great idea, it takes you back to how time crawled during December, doesn't it?
That's a really good idea, and they even turned out really cute even when kids did the work!
And they are so good about taking the rings off. Children in our home sure makes life young again and reminds us of the important things in life.
