Cards and Countdowns

Some of my favorite things about Christmas! 

Our yearly Christmas card...

School dress up days including Grinch day and tutu days, which are the only ones I got pics of...

With the fun and amazing Miss Mead and cute Sophia!

The crazy antics of Elmer...

And all our wonderful countdowns...

Chocolate advent calendars from sweet Joanne Hernandez, a  fun wooden snowman  countdown from Grandma Debbie and the cutest handmade advent boxes from Miss Taryn that we are putting OUR gifts to Jesus in each day.

And the best new Christmas tradition ever! Those ornaments that we took forever to make over Thanksgiving break for "The 25 Days of Christ." The girls love the little daily ornament and I love the scriptures and daily quotes to help us focus on the reason for the season.

All of it adds up to great ways to celebrate this Christmas season!
