Advent Day 2-5
Anna is very much into dolls. Her favorite doll, a reborn, named Amelia turned a year old, and she insisted that we celebrate her birthday with cake!
We also painted ornaments for the tree.
Girls wrote a letter to Santa. Anna watched a Youtube video that showed her how to draw Santa and his reindeer. Bub had a stomach bug, and slept on the couch most of the day.
Mason loved his candy cane, and even said "cheese" for the camera.
Trins Santa list says:
gumballs
Reborn
princess dress
silly sprinkler
snowflakes and hot chocolate...
Yummy yummy Smores!!

Advent Day 1
We started Advet today, and guess what? We got our very own Elf on the Shelf. The girls were so excited, and loved seeing his powder sugar foot prints leading to today's perch.
It seems as though he put himself in a glass vase, so that the girls wouldn't
break the touching rules, before knowing about them.
To name our elf, we all put in two names to be drawn out of a hat. The Elf would have a first name and middle name, so we drew two. The list of names that
were put in the hat were:
Anna: Peppermint & Candy Cane
Trinity: Elfie & Lollipop
Bub: Eddie & Bernard
Mason: Choo Choo ( I put that in for him, because he says it all the time)
Me: Sprinkles & Cracker Jack
Dad: Buddy & Clarke
The name of our Elf is...drum roll please...
Buddy Choo Choo
Needless to say, Trin was a little upset, and didn't quite get what we were doing. She didn't understand why she didn't get to draw her names out of the hat. The tears quickly stopped once we reminded her that Buddy Choo Choo reported everything to Santa.
Trinity did spark a conversation today about Jesus, saying that it's so nice that Jesus knows everything about you without having to have a magic elf. She said that she can just talk to Him, and He can hear her, and He loves her, and protects her. She also mentioned that she really likes the elf, but just thought of those things and that's why Jesus is better.
I told her she was so smart, and exactly right!
Jesus is way better!
Happy Advent
