Every year I am half happy and half sad when it's over! We had a wonderful Advent, chock full of all the usual Christmas traditions...
We are beyond lucky to have a "tweenager" in the neighborhood who enjoys playing with the kiddos! She holds craft camps nearly every day and Emily is always returning home with some wonderful creation. This September (yes, September) said tween wrote a Christmas play - 15 pages - full of dialogue, songs, dances and even flute solo!
The gang worked tirelessly for months to learn their parts, paint scenery, prep costume changes...the works! Finally it was time!
Ever the director - assisting from the back when she wasn't on stage ;)
It was adorable and made for some special neighborhood memories for sure!

Choosing one gift to open that night
He came!!!! That is a happy, happy face for 6:30 am.
We had a great morning of gift opening, enjoying our new toys.
Ending of course, with a wonderful feast!
Mahalo to all for the thoughtful gifts, cards, calls and wishes. We had a great day and are thankful for our family, friends and Savior.
