Advent

This year I decided that we were going to be held to the 3 gift rule. Jesus received 3 gifts and thus so should our kids. Well, the problem was that I had a billion little gifts I had already been collecting since October. Thus, I decided to do an insane Advent. My kids were opening gifts everyday. It was a little bit ridiculous. Sigh. I will try better next year.
Our family tradition of Book Advent lives on, though. Opening a Christmas book everyday and reading it by the Christmas Tree.
Joziah is sad because he can't hold the corner of the book for the picture
All is well again
So here are the Advent mittens.  Inside each one was a little riddle showing them where to find their gift.  A little treasure hunt.  They loved it of course.
New books

Yay! More train tracks!





A clue in the cupboard?  Fancy.





So excited about a little thing of candy
