For Christmas, I wanted a working fireplace. The owners before us had never had a fire, so Zach wasn't willing to use it until we had it cleaned/inspected. We finally got someone over to look at it December 23. We had our first fire on Christmas Eve.
Nana and Papa came over to decorate cookies with us.
This year for Advent, our church did something really neat. They gave us a list of 25 things that shelters request as the most needed items. We bought all of the items at the beginning of December and put them in a closet. Each day, we had a scripture reading and prayer to read as a family. Then, we would put that day's item under the tree. On the 24th, we took two boxes of stuff to church and unloaded them into the designated boxes.
Ready for Santa
