Today’s Advent Activity (is it just me, or I have been starting a lot of posts with these words lately?) was “make edible Christmas trees.” This was also a moms group event that I just needed to show up at someone else’s house for. (I did take sprinkles and kiwis, I contributed a little.)
Anyway, to make an edible Christmas tree, you take an ice cream cone, turn it upside down on a plate and spread it with green icing.
Then you go crazy with the decorations. (I took the candy cane sprinkles. Those are also Christmas M&Ms and chocolate chips.)
Obviously, the kids ate a lot of frosting and decorations. And then Elizabeth settled down and ate the top of her Christmas tree. Overall, a lovely activity. Highly recommended. And may I also recommend doing it at a neighbor’s house so that the clean up is nonexistent? (Okay, I did have to wash a bunch of green frosting off Elizabeth’s face before bed. It wasn’t TOTALLY labor free.)
