We came home from our California trip and our house was in a mess. Half of our house still needed to be painted. It took us awhile to get our decorations out but I at least got out the pyramid so we could have "advent." We had a "St. Nicholas" party with the Richins on December 2. Dad always find the chocolate letters for each of the kids. It's something that Bridger and Chase look forward to. Bridger loves to eat his big "B." Mom made an advent wreath for each family. We have searched for years looking for an advent wreath. Mom ended up making them. It's such a special gift!!!! I'm so thankful for the traditions I've been taught and now I can carry them on with my own family. St. Nicholas was able to find us all the way in America. The boys were very excited with their One Direction CD's. Bridger got the older one and Chase got the newest release. They also got some micro race cars and new snow boots. The best surprise was that our carpet arrived so I thought that was the best gift of all.
I love the picture of Bridger wearing my wooden shoes. I was a little bit younger than him when I got them. It seems surreal that my little boy can wear my wooden shoes. I love the art work that Bridger has brought home this holiday season. His class did a Polar Express party. He wore his pajamas to school. He came home with reindeer food and a polar express ticket around his neck. He's made a lot of fun crafts like a reindeer hat and a christmas tree that he had to paint and cut out ornaments.
With all the remodeling, I felt I was behind in everything. I debated about a Christmas card and decided to do one at the last minute. So after church on Sunday, I made the boys take a few pictures with the dog for our Christmas card. I ended up taking over 30 pictures and luckily one turned out.
