Badge of Honor!

C made it through his first official snow fall!

The driveway was cleared and no one slipped on the ice!

The next morning, B helped clear the remaining snow before piling into our four wheeled sleigh to head to church.

Advent Calendar

B is starting to understand the meaning behind Christmas and some of the traditions we have made as a family.

Each night, just before bed, we practice counting on our advent calendar and B helps unwrap the day’s special surprise.

It really is magical watching B begin to understand the importance of this sweet Advent season.

Nook

When we bought our house, I immediately thought B’s closet would be perfect for a fort or reading nook someday. It has a few stairs up to the attic in it and just seemed to cater to my teacher-like mindset and any little kid’s desire for a nook and cranny hide-a-way.

This weekend, we finally unpacked some boxes that had been collecting dust and came across several of B’s picture books. Discovering the books seemed to provide a great excuse to clean B’s closet out to finally create the little reading ‘nook’ I had imagined.

The nook has become a quite popular place in our neck of the wood…

Now I am mulling over the idea of adding a dutch door to the nook to give it even more of a ‘club house’ feel…am I crazy, yes! C is quite patient, and B seems to be grateful for all the silly ideas!!!!!

Happy Monday.

Be blessed.

Bedtime Stories…
