December Highlights

With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, we are trying to find ways to keep "the main thing the main thing." This year we started a new tradition of doing a Jesse Tree Advent devotional with the boys. We sat down each night as a family to read a devotional related to the lineage of Jesus and added a corresponding ornament (a paper cutout colored by our artist-in-training Carson) to our Jesse Tree (small tree on the left in the picture above).

We were excited to spend Christmas Eve with our dear friends, The Harveys. They introduced us to a new Christmas tradition called Christingle that symbolizes Jesus as the Light of the World.

We let the boys open their stockings on Christmas Eve where they found their new Christmas jammies to wear to bed that night.

Timmy loved taking in the sights and sounds of the Christmas season this year. Last year, he mostly slept through the whole thing.

My family was in town to celebrate Christmas with us.
