Day one of Advent was setting up the Christmas tree
The boys really enjoy this and can reach farther and farther up the tree each year!
This boy was in charge of putting the star on top of the tree this year.
Gotta love the return of the Santa hats!
Pretty tree
Day two of Advent was reading Christmas books by the fire.
Day three of Advent was participating in Giving Tuesday, so Morgan donated money from his giving jar to the Red Cross for flood relief and Jacoby donated money from his jar to the Emergency Family Assistance program for families who don't have enough food to eat. And on day five, the boys got a surprise (Charlie Brown nativity set).
We are hunkered down after a storm brought plenty of snow and bitterly cold temperatures. It's safe to say that I'm over winter. Yes, I know, it hasn't even officially begun, but I'm still over it. For those of you who may not know, the boys and I were in a bit of a wreck with the Subaru a few weeks ago. It involved very slippery roads, a round-about, and a curb. Needless to say, the curb won and the Subaru is still in being repaired for quite a lot of damage done to the passenger side wheel-tire-system-thingy. We're thankful that no one was hurt and for our car insurance. But, definitely over winter as a result.
In other news, Jacoby has made it to the 25-mile mark in the 100-mile club! We're so proud of him! And as of tomorrow, Morgan Ethan will officially be registered for Kindergarten. Sniff.
Hope you all are staying warm and cozy!
