The Day 10 activity on our advent calendar was to go to the Dollar Store and each child buy a gift for every person in our family. We gave them each $4 and they were to buy a gift for mom, dad, brother/sister, and baby.
They had such fun picking out their gifts, brought them home, wrapped them and we sat around and opened them together! Daddy's gifts...a musical Christmas tie from Em and a Wii baseball bat from Nathan (doesn't the Dollar Tree have great stuff!!)
My gifts were a scented candle from Em and a vegetable peeler from Nathan, this was very sweet and thoughtful, he was watching me peel sweet potatoes the other night and wanted to know why my 13 yr old peeler was so old and rusted?!?! This one has a built in veggie scrubber, too!!
Emily's gift for Nathan was a 6 in 1 screwdriver set...he is working on putting together his own toolbox.
Nathan got Emily a bag of pom-poms...again he really pays attention, he saw her asking for a bag in the craft store the other day.
They each picked out a cute bib for the baby...
While I was there wandering around waiting for the kids, I came across these things to make a new Christmas decoration. All you need is a little imagination and you can make great things from the Dollar Tree!! A glass vase, candleholder, and pack of styrofoam snowflake ornaments...
I superglued the vase to the candlestick...
Dropped in the snowflakes, tied on a ribbon and made this for the bathroom sink...cute!!
