Christmas re-cap no 1
I have not even shown you one little bit of our Christmas and the New Year is already 3 days old. So, we put up our tree rather early this year - on the 28th and int he middle of the day to avoid the tired children unpleasantness of years past. Once again, my little perfect moment in my head - kids gently adding decorations with Michael Buble's Christmas album playing in the background did not come true. In stead of him gently singing "It's beginning to feel like Christmas" I had 3 kids singing "Silent Night" and "we 3 kings" on top of their voices. Not what I imagined - but perfect in every way unimagined. It was so sweet - but so loud.
Scenes from the tree:
The advent calender was a huge hit once again and the kids waited in total anticipation to open it.The non sweets days were such hits.

Great pics! Love the nativity and that they love to act it out. So important to have the kids remember the real reason for Christmas!
