Last Minute Christmas Activities for Kids!
I seriously cannot believe Christmas is only a week away. I plan to take the entire week (December 19th through 26th) off from B-Inspired Mama to spend some quality time with my kids and family. (Okay… and to get caught up on some long-neglected projects, too, like my kids’ photo books.) We’ve actually been so busy this holiday season that we haven’t gotten to many of our Christmas traditions yet, so I’m planning to make some time to bake some cookies, read some holiday books, and craft some ornaments with my littles. And I know I’ll be busy keeping them busy while they are off of school for Christmas holiday, too. So I thought I’d feature some OVER 50 Christmas activities for kids to do this last week before Christmas that were shared in last week’s Kids Co-Op…
