'Tis the Season

Making Glitter Ornaments

 Basketball Season is upon us!  We stopped by the concession stand after daddy's game at a tournament this weekend and Stella discovered the Panther is a costume after all!

AWANA!

Our district hosted a 'Sweet Starts with Santa' to kick off the holiday season.  It was fun to make a picture frame, decorate a cookies, visit the book fair, get a holiday temporary tattoo, hear a story from Mr. Hirschey, and of course sit with Santa!

Learning about Baptism
from Pastor Carl

 Friday night we had dinner with our church family and helped with the 'hanging of the greens'.  The girls always enjoy this activity at church!

Our current building project. Super excited
to be getting a mud room!

This year we are celebrating advent not only by lighting our LED candles each week, but also with a new Christmas story each night.  Here's our stack of books.  It's been fun so far and is pretty likely this book count-down will become a lasting tradition in our house!
