Christmas is near!

Our advent season has been fun yet peaceful this year. We try to keep it somewhat simple, remembering that Jesus is the REAL reason for celebrating Christmas. I thought I would share some photos of our Christmas preparations. We went to a great tree farm and John cut down our pine-smelly tree!


Decorating the tree.

Alex loves this "advent calendar." Each day he gets to cut off one "loop" until Christmas. He asks to perform this operation at least twice a day ;)




Alex (far right) some other angels before the children's Christmas program at church.



Alex waiting for his turn to flip his letter at the preschool Christmas program. It was "M" for the manger where Jesus slept. He said the whole thing!



Cassidy checking out the stockings.

We hope all of our family and freinds have a wonderful Christmas!!
