Our family had a great time getting ready for Christmas this year from decorating the house to doing an advent calendar. Here are Jim and Evan putting up the tree on November 27 (okay so this post has taken me forever to get up, but better late than never). :)
Here I am with Evie hanging ornaments. She thought they were all very pretty.
Evan actually got to help hang a few this year too. Here he is in action.
So proud and smiling!
Here are the kids with the final product in their P.J.'s.
We even got one of the Little People Nativity sets this year. I think I was more excited than the kids.
Here is a picture of Evie checking it out.
Now for the Advent Calendars, Jim and I got one for both Evie and Evan (with the thought in mind that we would be having some of the chocolate too and we couldn't pass up the second one since it was buy one get one free, right?!?) However, Jim's Dad also gifted us with a special advent calendar too! We had so much chocolate we didn't know what to do with it and actually are still snacking on it today! :) Evan, was loving it though.
Here is the family opening up the first day's box and demonstrating to the kids how this whole thing works.
We were especially excited for the first piece of chocolate to feature a train design and took a picture.
Next year we look forward to incorporating a new tradition with advent based on the book, "The Advent Jesse Tree." This has come referred by one of our really good friends. :) Thanks, Carly!
