Oh how we all love Christmas. The JOY of celebrating the birth of our Savior who came to this earth as a precious baby to deliver us from sin by death on a cross and defeating death to reign forever.
What fun to have 2 girls so very excited about the same thing. Every day Essie carried around Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus. Sometimes she did so very much we couldn’t find them by the end of they day. We have multiple sets and some days we seemed to have lost all of them. If that is the price to pay I will buy more. However the beloved have all been found (over and over and over again)! Right now resting in time out for not being picked up when asked actually. Hmmm… never thought before now about putting Jesus in time out. anyhow!
We got our tree up Thanksgiving weekend. Adeline loves to decorate. She was a busy little bee putting all kinds of decorations up. Bryan even hung lights outside on a tree we have in the yard that held a large wreath that he also covered in lights. The girls loved it. The first night we came home I had to run up and plug the lights in, leave the house and arrive again so they could see what it looked like driving up to our home.
Went to Disney Fort Wilderness and were exposed to so many displays of Christmas lights and wonders. The girls went with Martha and Annie to see lights at a state park near Lake City. It was a wonderful adventure of popcorn, lights, seeing Santa (who promised Adeline a baby doll – say what!), watching egg art, roasting marshmallows, and have a violinist tell us Essie’s amazement with music would make her perfectly suited to start lessons very soon.
We have gone on a few neighborhood light adventures. Adeline fell asleep on our first outing, so we had to do it again that week.
Here is some of Adeline’s art work (Jingle Bell Bracelet, Jesus wrapped in a blanket, and Mary’s belly from where Jesus came from):

Love that Jesus had to go to time out! Mainly our camel and sheep seemed to find their way away from the manger scene. The camel ended up high in the tree. Such precious little girls that I can see walking around with Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus.
Fun, Fun times....I'm so thankful we were able to share some of them with ya'll!! :)
yay! Glad to have you back from your blogging hiatus! I enjoy seeing all the things I'm missing, even from 2 miles away! Maybe you'll inspire me to find some time to blog again :) Love the new layout, too :)
