Christmas Time

Well we are full in the Christmas Spirit and now we have Jake & Zach here….YEAAAAAA! :) They arrived yesterday around 4:00 and will be here until Christmas day. We will be busy ~ Smores one night, an evening with friends, a graduation party of a friend and someone the boys look up too, Brown Bag goodies for the homeless, build a ginger bread house (we started the tradition last year & it was fun, only Jake & Zach missed out on it…but not this year), Santa will make a stop early for Jake & Zach so they can enjoy their gifts, Christmas Eve Service, and then Christmas morning with a Todd’s FULL breakfast meal, and LOTS & LOTS of LOVE!!!!!

Last Tuesday Gabe had his classroom Christmas Party! We made an ornament together, the children exchanged book gifts, and we enjoyed cookies!

A Tradition that we started this year is ADVENT! This year I just have the envelopes in a Christmas bag, so next year I plan on having something a little more creative! :) We were given an advent package at the Birthday Party for Jesus and I had been wanting to do one, so I was really excited. Of course Gabe does not get it all, but seeds are being planted! :)

Hope you all are having a Merry Christmas!
