As much as we are watching our children to see what they do with thier lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours.

Joy of the Season

I love the Christmas season and that my girls are enjoying it too.  This year we are doing an activity advent calendar. Every day we have a fun event planned to celebrate the season.  The  advent activities from the past few days are: 
Friday: Christmas Party with Playgroup
Saturday: Make wrapping paper
Sunday: Attend a live nativity
Monday: Visit Santa
Today: Christmas Music Dance party

Here are pics of us enjoying our advent activities.

"First we need eggs, then milk, the sugar..."

Isabella loves to help me bake.  She added an extra dose of sweetness to the batch.

Making wrapping paper from grocery bags

Sophia likes to stamp the tree cookie cuter on her paper.


The girls dressed up to see the live nativity at Isabella's preschool (church).  The hour long show was wonderful.  Sophia loved seeing "baby Jesus" on stage and Isabella was amazed by the angel hovering above the scene.  After the show, we enjoyed "Camels & Cookies" hosted by the church.  Not only did they have live camels but they also had llamas, donkeys, lions and tigers. 

Excited to hear about "Baby Jesus"

Excited to see animals and see her friends

Loving my little angels

Live Nativity performance

Our arms are full of joy!


Madelyn, Ellie, Isabella & Sophia enjoyed the show!
From our home to yours, I hope you are enjoying the joys of season.  Happy Holidays.
