Christmas Fun

Well for Christmas this past year I wanted to do a project with Sylvie. So we made these Advent calendars that I seen Steve Ramsey do.

I started out as one but when Cammie seen it she wanted one for here classroom. Her's is the LSU set. Sylvie had a lot of fun painting the balls all the different colors.

I'm sure an Easter one will be coming next year. As you countdown to Christmas you take the balls off base and put them on the tree until you get the star at the top. (Sorry no pic of that one)

But it was a lot of fun taking the time to do this with Sylvie. The base under the ball had candy in the holes I drilled. I used a Forstner  bit just a little smaller than the balls so they held in there. But it was still big enough to put a mint in each one.
