WE WERE ABLE TO GO AND GET A CHRISTMAS TREE TODAY AS WELL AS HAVE OUR FIRST DAY OF ADVENT. THIS WAS HAILE AND BETI'S FIRST TIME EVER GETTING A CHRISTMAS TREE AND BRINGING IT HOME. YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHAT THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT IT ALL-BUT THEY SEEM TO BE HAPPY AND EXCITED JUST LIKE THE OTHER KIDS. THEY HAD FUN AND WE HAD A GOOD FAMILY TIME TONIGHT CELEBRATING THE FIRST DAY OF ADVENT. WE FOUND A GREAT RESOURCE FOR THIS THROUGH FOCUS ON THE FAMILY-HERE IS THE LINK AND BEST OF ALL-IT IS FREE TO PRINT!:

WE ALSO HAD EACH CHILD DRAW A NAME OF ANOTHER PERSON IN THE FAMILY AND FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER-THAT IS THEIR "SPECIAL" PERSON. THEY NEED TO TRY HARD TO BLESS THEM IN LITTLE WAYS THROUGHOUT THE DAYS AND WILL EACH GET TO GO AND GET ONE GIFT TO PUT UNDER THE TREE (FROM THE DOLLAR STORE) FOR THAT PERSON. WE THINK IT WILL BE FUN AND A GOOD WAY FOR THEM TO HOPEFULLY GET ALONG BETTER. :-)
Love seeing EVERYONE HOME!!!!! :)
