Time flies when...well, it just flies these days. I blink and it feels like it's a month later. We continue to plug along. We've been spending quite a bit of time with family and doing fun, festive things this Christmas season. We haven't been swept away with too much activity, it seems to be just the right pace for our family.
We decorated our Christmas tree and that was so much fun for the kids. This is the first year I haven't had to barricade the tree off in some sort of way to keep little hands from the ornaments. Asher has done a really good job of not touching too many things. He has broken a few ornaments already, but I figure that is par for the course for an almost, but not quite 3 year old.
We have been doing some different advent calendars, one of which is the Lego advent calendar. It's been fun and exciting to find what's hiding behind each door. Calvin did peek behind door #24 and it is the Santa Clause. I told him, that's no fun to peek, you have to wait for the day to come to look and see. He then proceeded to tell me it is fun to peek and he's still excited knowing that Santa is behind door #24. I think he gets that from me. I like knowing the end of things (books and movies) before reading/seeing it, knowing how it ends removes the anxiety and it is still exciting for me to read the book or watch the movie.
We also have been doing a daily Jesse Tree advent thingy madingy. I saw someone else do it and decided to copy theirs. Each day they hang up an ornament that corresponds to a bible devotional. It tracks the lineage of Jesus, hence the name Jesse Tree (out of the root of Jesse...). The kids have been enjoying that too.
Mia is still having seizures. Please continue to pray for her and us as we navigate our next decisions. We added in a third medicine today for her and should know in a few weeks if that is working or not. We pray it will! Thank you for always praying for her!
