Deck the halls!

In traditaional Gotbeter style we decked the halls the day after Thanksgiving. Taking down fall decareations and putting up Christmas with three little ones is not an easy process... I found myself trying very hard to be inetentional with the children and not get easily frusterated. The children are really excited this year. We started the Elf on the shelf tradation this year, "Elfie" joined our family and they are thrilled! We made an Advent wreath today at church to celebrate the start of Advent, tonight we had our first Advent ceremony and also read Luke 2. It's been a lot of fun to teach them the real meaning of Christmas while doing some Santa and "Elfie" also.
