December is such a magical time of year. It is a wonderful time of
remembering our Savior's entrance into this world. And it is filled with
special music, wonderful food, parties, and on and on. Having children
absolutely keeps the magic of the time of year alive. The girls are
having such fun with all the festivities. We decided to do an Advent
activity each night after dinner. The activity is small - a craft, a
treat, a story, but it is something to look forward to do each evening
as a family. The girls, especially Elise, are very into it, and I had
such fun brainstorming and planning each evening's activity. Here are a
few pictures from our December so far.

| I just love Lilah's snowman - melted apparently - it has been a warm December |

| Hot chocolate bar night - toppings included peppermint, Crunch bar pieces (still eating our Halloween candy), and marshmallows |
