25 Days To Christmas - Day 2

Last night's activity was fun to make.  We read about the Angel Gabriel telling Zechariah that his wife, Elizabeth would have a baby boy, John.  Zechariah did not believe him and because he did not believe could not speak until the prophecy was fulfilled (Luke 1:5 - 25).

We have made angel decorations to hang on the Christmas tree.  It was so easy and quick to make.  We've only needed some cardboard, coloring pencils, tissue paper (for wings), wool for hair and string to hang it.  Oh and thin golden ribbon for the halos.  The girls got very excited when they realized we had another project planned for the evening :)

So special and far more meaningful than shop stuff

Sula 1968 Thank you for your comment. It is so much fun and quality time spent with our girls. We are enjoying making these as a family :)

This is the 5th craft/baking Christmas post I am reading in a row - I am sadly starting to feel very inadequate as a mom

Hey Cat, this is the first time ever we've done something like this with the girls! Please don't feel inadequate, that was not the intention. I happened to read your blog post earlier and it is quite obvious that you had quite a hectic schedule lately. Me on the other hand don't have any excuse why we haven't done the sooner! Not only for Christmas but in general. What is the Lego Advent Calendar like? It looks interesting?

Such sweet little angels. I love homemade things on the tree.

Thanks Melanie B, I must admit that I'm enjoying making these just as much as they are and I'm suspecting that hubby loves it too LOL! I doubt he will admit it though :)
