Christmas is coming

This year has been really fun with Isaac. He has enjoyed picking out an ornament for our advent calendar each morning at breakfast. And we also put an ornament on our Jesse tree each evening at dinner and read the devotion. (My friend Lesa blogged about our ornament exchange for the Jesse tree here)

We put up lights a few weekends ago and last Saturday and tonight drove around the neighborhoods a little seeing all the lights. Isaac says they are beautiful. 

He's been cute playing with his little people nativity scene. 

I had fun too, heehee. 

I've also tried to keep him busy with fun activities. We made salt dough ornaments out of our hand prints. Harpo even got to participate in that one. 

We made frosty the snowman head Oreo balls. 

And tonight we made shortbread cookies. Which we will decorate tomorrow 

It's been a fun month of celebrating Jesus's birth.
