Day 20 - Elfina's Advent Adventure

Today is cookie baking day!  And Ella and Elfina got to help put it all together.... Ella did really well cracking the eggs all by herself and using the hand mixer for the first time (that made me a little nervous, as I pictured everything flying all over the kitchen).  We were also excited that Mim showed up unexpectedly and we could start sharing the cookies that we made.  

Day #20

Let’s put on an apron and make a mess

Making cookies together will be our success

We will make them for friends, neighbors and such

A few we will eat, but not very much

Enjoy the time in the kitchen with mom

Perfecting the recipe, it will be the bomb

Verse of the Day: Proverbs 31:31 

Love our Monster Cookies

Day 14 & 15 - Elfina's Advent Adventures

This was Ella's entrepreneur day.... in the summer and fall - Ella has a Veggie stand so she decided she wanted to make pretzels to give as gifts and sell at Cruisers.  She enjoyed our pretzel making event.  

Day #14

I have been practicing the spelling of your name

Decorating the counter was such a fun game

Today you can do a project with your mom

You can make chocolate covered pretzels that will be the bomb!

Quality time with your mom making snacks

Is good for the heart, and that is a fact.

So have fun making treats, and don’t make too big of a mess

I am sure they will look great, and be a success

Verse of the Day: Prov. 1:8

Today was mommy/daughter day.  We spent the day together, shopping not only for the gifts that I needed but also for Ella to learn the importance of giving.  So she was given money to get something for a friend as well as herself.  

Day #15

For today’s adventure we must leave for the car

No worries Ella we won’t be going too far

Let’s head to Selinsgrove, to have a girl’s day

I even have this gift card, for you to pay.

But don’t spend too much just on yourself,

Also buy a gift for a friend and share your wealth.

Verse of the Day: Prov. 17:17

Though I am pretty tired from being gone all day - it was a nice day of shopping and Ella did well looking and chosing gifts.  Now if we could just get through this I want everything stage :)
