ON THE 2ND DAY OF DECEMBER.....

What mischief did our little elfy friends get up to last night you may ask...................well, they were very irresponsible and quite dangerous to be precise - they zip lined down from the upstairs to the downstairs...wait, the worst is still to come......by their feet!!!

Winter came to Texas today - now I know for some of you this isn't a big deal, but for those of us who were born and raised in Africa, it's a HUGE deal....................it snowed!!!! How I love that white, fluffy stuff:-)

We've started a new tradition this year in our home - not only do the kids get a piece of candy in their Advent Calendars, but a little note too. This note gives them a hint about a special family "thing" we'll be doing that night. I never thought it would be as big a hit as it has been - they are LOVING it. Last night we watched a Christmas movie and ate popcorn. Tonight we sat around the dinner table creating ornaments together...my families creativity amazed me:-)

22 Days to go everyone....hope your "To Do List" is getting shorter:-)
