It was Pizza Hut for dinner to use the kids’ November Book It! certificates. I am so proud of the kids for working so hard to earn a Book It! every month. Great job Laura and John!
One of My Favorites…
I think this is one of my favorite hiding spots for Chippy! Sometimes that husband of mine has really good ideas.
Christmas Pageant
Laura took part in the St. Andrew’s Lutheran Children’s Christmas Pageant today at the 8:30 service. It is the first time that she has wanted to be a part of it. At first, she wanted to be Mary, but then changed her mind and decided to be an angel. She worked hard to learn the music and did a great job with both the singing and her part. Maybe next year, she can convince John to participate!
We had to shovel…
…in order to get out to church for Christmas Pageant practice. It turned out to be a very good thing that we bought those kids of ours some shovels last weekend. They got right to work shoveling our front walk…
…while Andy got to work shoveling our driveway.
Together, they successfully cleared the front walk and driveway in about 20 minutes. Go Family! And what was I doing to contribute? Well, I was getting things ready to go inside the house while I drank nice, hot coffee, of course!
Snow!
Two to four inches of the white stuff is expected and it looks so beautiful coming down!
Christmas Pajamas +
The kids + Christmas tree = One of my favorite pictures so far this Christmas season
Advent Calendar
For the first time, we have an Advent calendar. It is something that we had wanted to do in past years, but I never seemed to remember to actually buy the calendar. I found this “No Room at the Inn” calendar on Amazon and we all love it. Every night, Laura opens the window and reads the verse. Both kids look forward to it and Andy and I love to listen to Laura read the verses to John.
