Advent Calendar Activities

I made this advent calendar 2 years ago and use it every Christmas. Usually I put candies in the day pockets, but this year I'm trying something new. My sister-in-law Renae does an activity for each day, so that's what I'm attempting. (Kudos for the suggestion Renae.) Hopefully, we'll remember and stick with it. And hopefully, I can find the time. Though- so far, so good.
One day we made a Christmas craft. Each girl made a snowman. Jer helped Victoria with her snowman (the red haired one wearing the red skirt with jingle bells) and I helped Bella with hers (the pink haired one with red scarf and hat.) I made the middle one and we assembled them on a blue canvas that's hanging in my den.

On another day we wrote letters to Santa telling him what we wanted. I had them write it in pencil and I traced it with black marker. They cut the pictures out. Yes, I was standing right beside them as they did this (see "No More Scissors" post to understand why.)

Like I said so far, so good. Here's a complete list of the activities (in no particular order), if anyone wants it or if I need it for next year.
