Thus far, we have:
"Decked our Halls"
Mailed our Cards and Packages
Finished (most) hand-made gifts
Enjoyed lights, music, food, and friends at Figgy Pudding
Enjoyed Hot Chocolate a la mode (w/ peppermint ice-cream)
Read LOTS of Christmas books
and even wrapped a few gifts and put them under the tree.
Not bad for the first week!
Below enjoy a few images from downtown last Friday night. Thanks to the Judkins for joining us!
It was a great start to our advent. Sawyer gets excited every night to burn our candles and read about Jesus (and maybe Mr. Grinch, too) We usually read about Jesus and then he picks out a few other books from our STACK under the tree. I put a ton of Christmas books on my cue at the public library, thinking I might wrap them and have him open one each night. BUT. He is fine with the gifts under the tree and hasn't tried unwrapping any (neither has Aspen, surprisingly!) and I didn't want to focus toooo much on the "presents". So we just put the books under the tree and that is a treat enough ;)
Sadly, the past two days little Aspen has had a high fever. Tomorrow we'll go to see the doc since it's been 72 hours. Poor little girl. We didn't make it to Swanson's this morning b/c she's sick. Hopefully soon she'll be better because we've got some FUN stuff planned this week and weekend!
