Advent

So it has begun!  We started our advent on the 1st and we are having a blast so far!

 

Here's what we've done:

1st - we had a major bust in the Corsicana Christmas Parade.  it has been so great in the past, but this year was so bad!!  The parade itself was good, but we picked a bad spot.  We were on a corner at the beginning of the parade and there were so many kids!!!!  They were big and aggresive and so needless to say our boys didn't get much candy.  They did get tripped by other parents trying to get candy for their kids and pushed by several older kids.  Owen kept crying and saying to me, "why don't they like me?!  Why are they being SO mean!"  sad.  Best thing was that we did go with our buddy Jake, so that was fun!

 

2nd - was the hanging of the green at church.  No pictures, but lots of fun!

 

3rd - Making rice cripies houses.  So much better than gingerbread houses because they were so easy to make!  I made them a head of time and they decorated.  Big hit!

 



4th - we went to Houston to see Holly, Erin and Lindsay.  Nate is out of town and so we took advantage.  Such a great time.  I forgot to take pictures but I did get this one:



 

5th - Christmas Jammies - they were watching polar express at school today

And here is this Christmas cutie...she's usually waddling around during the excitement...she's hard to catch for a picture!!!

 

We have been following a read along advent for our Jesus story book bible and it has been so good.  Reading all sorts of stories that lead up to Christ coming.  Love it!!!
