Goodness, life has been waltzing by these days. Only three weeks until Christmas! I've found that my schedule with three littles plus everyone having the sniffles this week has made it very hard to stick to Advent activities. We have our Advent candles with the prayers and O Come, O Come Emanuel that we sing at dinner time each evening. We also have a paper chain that Sunny made that she is using as a countdown til Christmas. Sunny and I made adorable St. Nicholas' to decorate our fireplace to please the said saint when he arrives Friday evening to fill our shoes (if we've been good!). So I guess our Christmas prep hasn't been too bad! We also wrapped a birthday box for Jesus to fill with our sacrifices to bring to Church for His birthday.

Each of the girls has a Window-cling Nativiy set to play with.
Little Man is just taking it all in and growing, growing, growing!
I do have some more cute Advent crafts to do with the littles and homemade Christmas gifts to make. I'm super excited about setting up and decorating our first Christmas tree in the new house! I've even read up on some Martha Stewart Christmas decor magazines for inspiration. I have a charming idea for hanging my Christmas cards this year...hopefully I will be able to post again soon to show you!
