Despite all the boxes yet to be unpacked we decided to decorate our Christmas tree this afternoon. The kids had so much fun discovering old ornaments that they have made and ones they have received. Fun family times!
Today was our first official snow day. School was closed and the kids played for several hours out in it.
The kids had their Christmas program last night along with project night. In the videos below you can see Noah off to the left second row from the top and Abbie at the bottom on the right. Hunter is playing his guitar at the bottom of the screen. What a fun night watching the kids preform and seeing what they have been working on in their classes.
Despite the many boxes that still need to be unpacked, we managed to put our Christmas tree up. Kevin surprised the kids and as we drove up the hill tonight and saw it brightly lit. The kids can't wait to decorate it. It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas at the Donaldsons!
Tonight is the third Sunday in Advent. Tonight's candle is rose color, and it stands for the JOY we feel as we wait for Jesus to be born.
December 9th marked the first night in our new home. We slept on mattresses on the floor and ate pizza with boxes all around. It was a perfect night and we can't wait to make new memories as a family here. We are so grateful to have our wonderful family and a house to call home.
Today is the second Sunday of Advent. Tonight we lit the second purple candle which is PEACE.
Kevin took Abbie and Preston up to the mountain today for their first ski lesson. While they were up skiing, Noah and I watched Hunter in the parade and then went over to a live interactive Bethlehem. The boys got to make pottery, paint, transcribe and bake bread. It was so much fun!
