Traditions

We are trying to start our own traditions for the Holidays. I was inspired by Christina here - great ideas. We started an advent calendar - a calendar to countdown the days to Christmas - I'm not sure Kate understands it fully, but she has fun putting the stars on it. I got the idea from this blog, mine is not nearly that good. It's very elementary, no maybe pre-school. Oh well, I'm trying!

I know, her hair is a hot mess, but people I'm letting it grow out. She doesn't mind!

Check out Luke chewing on that finger.

At least John is smiling - if you could see his face.

Then I read them a book - to be honest, this was just Kate's way of delaying going to bed. Have you noticed my kids are always in their PJs? I promise I dress them, but we always take pictures at night.

Luke's tooth - John turned him upside down, that's why this is a weird looking picture. There they are!

We started the decorating last night. Here is our front door. This was taken at night, but I don't know how to take a picture so you can see the lights on the tree. I just finished the tree in the living room, so I will get some pictures of that tonight.
