Advent Day 22

Read Christmas Stories by the Fireplace

We have done a lot of great Advent events but this one today had to be one of my favorites.  It was so simple, peaceful and special to me.  Once the picture was taken, Nate joined in and I couldn't imagine anything better than cuddling and reading books by the fire with my favorite five people.

Advent Day 20

See Santa

Even though we don't celebrate Santa at Christmas as someone who brings gifts down the chimney, our children still know who he is.  To them Christmas is about the birth of Jesus and Santa is just another Christmas character like Frosty and Rudolph.  Therefore, when we found out he was visiting our Chiropractor we decided to make it an advent event this year.

No pictures of just Caleb alone with Santa because he did not want to, and I forgot to get one of just Ian with him.

Advent Day 17

Make a Gingerbread House

(There is no picture of their house because due to all their frosting and candy decorating, nothing could hold it together.  At least they enjoyed themselves making it.)
