Preparing for Nativity: Day Thirteen...

It is a rainy night here... perfect for snuggling under a blanket and watching Greer Garson!

Preparing for Nativity: Day Twelve...

Little Man's second birthday was a lot of fun! He had lots of presents and a lovely little tea complete with chocolate cake before Vespers. Fr John commented when I was having a little trouble getting him to sleep the night before his birthday, that he was a lot more difficult two years ago! So true.

Preparing for Nativity: Day Eleven...

Today's activity was painting the half bathroom. Fr John gave me 100% choice in picking the color and so I went with a favorite - violet! It is a really gorgeous color! The bathroom still needs a second coat and then I'll clean it and put it back together before I show more pictures.

Tomorrow is Little Man's second birthday!

Preparing for Nativity: Day Ten...

We've really started delving into our Christmas book basket. The Little Drummer Boy is a new addition this year, and I am going to start reading my favorite Christmas book, The Lion in the Box, to the children soon! What are your favorite Christmas books?
