First Day of Advent: open an early Christmas gift.

November 27, 2022
Day 2,230

Thankful for: 

A day called Sunday. 

Lighting all the candles and turning on all the lights just for us to enjoy at home. 

Being able to go Christmas shopping. 

Starting a new tradition this year on the first day of advent: We each wrote down 8 things to do to celebrate Christmas beginning today on the first day of advent. Every day, we will pick one paper out of our Christmas bowl and we have to do that thing to celebrate the season of advent and Christmas. I'm excited about this new tradition. 

The first paper we picked out of the bowl today was: open an early present. Matt and I gave the kids Warmies. Those are stuffed animals stuffed with flax and lavender. They are good for calming and soothing anxiety. Adelyn got a cow, and Tobin got a puppy. Adelyn named hers, Oreo. Tobin named his, Warmie. 

Prayer. Lots of prayer. 

Christmas music. 

A brand new week starting tomorrow. 

Hugs from Matt, Adelyn, and Tobin. 

Cuddles from Higbee on the couch. 

A beautiful Christmas season to look forward to.
