It's been a while...

 So it's been a couple years! We had this thing called Covid happen and I apparently stopped blogging. Actually, life got really amazing, and then extremely hard. Now it's been so long that I just haven't even thought of adding to this blog. But the threat of it being removed because I've been inactive for so long is the reason for the post. I use this as our digital scrapbook. Our memories. And I'd forget all the little things if I didn't keep it up.

Home for Advent - one advent for each kid: lighting the advent candle, the calendar, the love jar, lighting the tree, special drink, reading the scripture, peppermint wreath, candy box, and pick a stocking.

then we open our Christmas jammies and watch a Christmas movie while Dada works on smoking his brisket (which ended up taking all night - he didn't sleep!)

December 25 - Christmas Day!! We sing, "Happy Birthday" to Jesus and blow out the candles on his cinnamon roll birthday cake, read Luke 2, open stockings, have breakfast and open presents while Mimi, Grandma and Grandpa, and Anny are there, then the rest of the mama family comes over and we do our scavenger hunt (a ski vacation!), play games, open more presents, play with toys and feast.

December 27-28 - At Whidbey Island with Dada's family we go on walks, have puzzle competitions, play games, watch TV and Miss Toni and Paul come to give them their massage presents.
