Advent

Well, the holidays have come and gone.  Thanksgiving was a whirlwind of family fun in SC, but it was worth the hours of driving.  We made sweet memories!  Thanksgiving is my favorite family holiday.  

"Sweet girl" in her "candy shirt, which she loves.  It was appropriate around Thanksgiving.
After Thanksgiving, we started preparing for Christmas, the coming of Christ.  We decided to have an Advent party (just us!) and decorate and read the first of the Advent devotionals so as to set our hearts to seek Jesus above all.  We used a new resource this year by Ann Voskamp, Unwrapping the Greatest Gift.  She walks through the main stories in the Bible as they point to the coming of the Savior.  

Picking out a tree!  "Daddy is strong!"





Let the decorating begin!  





And... the silliness!  Abby was the photographer for the night and I am glad (except that there are no pictures of her).  I never would have taken pictures like these silly ones, but I am glad to have them.  They show the personality in these kiddos!
