Our Christmas Advent!

Another Project...Our Christmas Countdown! Calendar and treat bag




A new family tradition: A Christmas Countdown (a.k.a. Advent Calendar)

It turned out great! I'm so happy with our new advent calendar for Christmas! Ellerie is loving it! She is definitely my girl! She wakes up every morning excited to see what the Scripture, Activity & Treat of the day are! I decided to combined all 3 into one. We are reading scripture passages all about Christ and his life. We then have a Christmas oriented family activity for the day and of course what would an advent calendar be without treats! I pre-packaged them and numbered them for each day! It's been going great so far! I love CHRISTMAS!!!!


Projects!

I've found a new hobby. I've been finding old pieces of furniture at thrift shops, bringing them home, add a little TLC and voila! Look how fun! I'm busy being crafty too. The last 2 photos are a new wall decor I needed for a skinny little wall in my front room! I'm having lots of fun creating :)

I thought these photos were too funny not to post! I love the expression on Kaden's face when Santa decided to give him a big ole' hug! And then Porter and Garrett at the end so intensely listening to Santa! ha ha ha It was a fun night!
