| This week in church Rachel Gustafson gave a wonderful sermon on Mary. I was totally blessed by it! Man, Rachel is a great writer and speaker! God is going to continue to use her for sure. :) |
 |
| Saturday afternoon we picked up our tree, so Sunday we put lights on it as a family. Finn was VERY involved in this process. |
 |
| We light the Jesus middle candle just because it's going to last, and because we're rebels...haha. |
 |
| Serious business. |
 |
| Finn then spent ages making "snow flakes" like he learned in Sunday School. |
 |
| They were...ah...unique. :) |
 |
| Finn took this photo. He was laying down, underneath the tree, and insisted it was such an amazing view he had to take a photo of it. Love him. |
 |
| This afternoon the kids were playing a very unique game: their Octonaut toys discovered their Manger scene toys, and there were lots of conversations like this: "Pretend Jesus didn't know it wasn't a REAL shark!!!" Imaginations know NO bounds. |
 |
| Tonight, after dinner, we added the ornaments to the tree in between music lessons. |
 |
| These two did 95% of the decorating of the tree this year. Cora had an epic emotional meltdown and was sleeping sound by 6:25 p.m. God bless early bedtimes, said all the parents everywhere. Also, older children are the BEST. They are so useful! Haha! |
 |
| I forgot to tell you what our family movie night movie was on Friday: Mary Poppins! BIG hit, as expected. |
