Here we are at day #16 of our Lego Friends advent calendar!
It’s time for a peek inside the door!
Let’s see…what could these pieces make?
I found the answer by looking at the picture of the advent calendar online. This is cool and quite an important thing for Santa to have! It’s Santa’s sleigh! 🙂
Santa looks like he’s almost ready for Christmas Eve! But I think he might need some reindeer still! Lol 😉
Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll be opening the next door on the advent calendar! 🙂
One thing my mom used to do with leftover frosting was always a big hit with my siblings and me. Super simple, but we always enjoyed this treat. All you need is graham crackers and frosting, but sprinkles or colored sugar can make it look even more special.
You can make little “sandwiches” or go with open-faced pieces. Break some graham crackers into the size you like. Maybe in half or into quarter pieces.
Spread frosting on one side of one piece of graham cracker.
Add a matching piece of graham cracker and you have a graham cracker and frosting sandwich. 🙂
As you can probably guess, you can also put frosting on a piece of graham cracker but not add the second top piece.
Sprinkles and colored sugar add to the fun so you might want to add some to your snack.
This can be a fun activity to do with the kids at Christmas time when they are begging to decorate Christmas cookies, but you haven’t had time yet to make them! Think of it as a “warm-up” to decorating Christmas cookies. 😉
And that, my friend, is a fun tip from “way back” during my childhood! 😉 Hope you enjoy making graham cracker and frosting sandwiches!
Are you looking for an adorable dessert for Christmas? Do your kids need to take a Christmas treat to school? Here’s a cute snowman that doesn’t take long to make! I found this little packet of candy snowman noses and black balls for eyes and a mouth at our local Walmart store. (Yes, it says for cookie ball decorating, but they work great for snowman cupcakes too!)
Whip up your favorite cake batter, flavor of your choice. I went with homemade chocolate.
Pour the batter into a cupcake pan lined with cupcake papers.
Bake, cool and frost with your favorite white frosting. Add the special candies from the packet and presto! You have snowman cupcakes ready to go!
Aren’t they cute? Plus quick and easy!
The hardest part will be keeping your family from eating them too soon! 😉
Here we go with another day of our Lego Friends Advent Calendar!
What is hiding behind door #14?
What do you think these pieces make?
One gray piece looks like it could be part of a gun? I went back to the handy dandy online picture of the advent calendar and that’s right! It does make a tiny gun and…parents, beware! It really does shoot! The set also makes 3 little targets to shoot at. The boys are going to like this one! 😉
And now it’s in my Christmas scene. 🙂
Be sure to join me tomorrow for our peek behind the next door! 🙂
Yes, today is day #12 of sharing our Lego Friends Advent Calendar! Wow, do you know what that means? We are half way through the advent calendar already! Christmas is coming fast! 🙂
Time to check what is behind door #12!
Let’s take a closer look at the Lego pieces.
I don’t know if you can figure out what those pieces make, but I had to go back to the internet page about the advent calendar to find out. 😉 And I’m not even sure after making it, exactly what it is! Lol Maybe you can tell me what you think it is.
The part on the right is a gift…maybe the yellow part is a gift too? Could the middle part be decorations? Or maybe a bench to sit on? I think I need your help on this one! I decided to put them close to Santa in our Christmas scene.
This advent calendar is keeping me guessing! Come back tomorrow and we’ll open another door together! 🙂
