This weekend was spent getting ready for Christmas. We put up our tree, strung and hung the ornaments, and got out the snow globe and advent wreath. Maybe by next weekend we'll have candles and find the mystery tote with the advent calendar and stockings.
Some of the AWANA kids were getting ready too, buying their family presents in the store. My kid, not so much. He bought a pair of "foam disk guns." He did participate in the spirit of giving though. He gave one to his younger brother promptly upon arriving home. They then "exchanged" shots in the holiday spirit, much in the same manner they exchanged snowballs earlier in the afternoon.
Princess D looked outside and saw the snow. "Is it Christmas?" She wants a barbie with a horse that eats carrots. You know she's ready.
Princess P and Baby Guy are all aglow with the lights and music. "LOOK! 'OOK!" they chorus together.
By the end of the weekend, mom & Dad are tired, but the house is twinkly. The first Sunday of Advent has passed. O come o Come Emmanuel.....and to all a good night.
