Tradition in our family is a Christmas Eve feast.

frosty, is that you?!

December 22nd, 2010|Categories: crafts|Tags: |17 Comments

So we can’t build snowmen out of snow in our backyards here. If you can where you are, then I think you’re lucky. I can’t wait until I can take my kids somewhere to experience a White Christmas so they can build their own Frosty. I have such fond memories of building snowmen, snow castles and making snow angels and snow cones as a little kid.But who said Frosty has to be built out of snow?This was a very last minute project. We were out over the weekend, I saw the lanterns and thought […]

One of our Advent activities over the weekend was to make some Reindeer Food. This is a tradition in our home and I love the simple fun of it.All you need is some oats, sugar, food colouring {red & green} and some edible glitter if you like. Please make sure it’s edible glitter, as you’re putting this out in the garden and it may attract birds or other animals and if eaten you want to make sure the poppets will be ok!Here’s our set up:You want to find sugar crystals that are quite large […]
