Christmas with a child is so much fun! Lily loves pointing out everything "Kermus" as we drive or shop. Last night the three of us decorated a gingerbread house. It was fun to do an activity as a family and Lily was in her glee. I didn't tell her the candy was edible until near the end, so she actually decorated for awhile. Then she enjoyed some gumdrops. All in all a good time.
I have an advent house that I bought for $2.00 a few years back at a salvage sale. It's missing a few pieces of wood and the #4 door keeps coming off, but I still think it's cute and Lily is loving it. I explained that when we get to door number 25 it will be Christmas day and her cousins will be here. She was very excited and said she would share her toys with her cousins. Can you tell we've been working on sharing? :)
I'm trying to do something special with Lily or as a family everyday in the month of December. This afternoon we read "What God Wants For Christmas" and opened the little boxes that go with it. We bought it at Lifeway after the holidays last year. I recommend it if you have small children.
I hope to get the tree up tonight or tomorrow. It's such a lovely and wonderful time of year!
