HI – I was directed to your blog via The Homespun Heart. I have a toddler and a baby this year; and I’ve put off what I normally do for Advent (Advent wreath with real candles!), for at least this year. We do have a small advent calendar, and I’m doing a few Christmas crafts with the toddler. Life is busy, but good!

PS: I made your M&M cookies yesterday and had a request to post the recipe. Wanted to check with you first. If you’d rather post it, I’ll be happy to link over.

Thanks!

Hey Amy,

I’ve never read that book – though I’ve seen and heard of it. I think one of my favorites is the What God Wants for Christmas – Rachel is 3 and she can’t get enough of it. It is seven little boxes that you open as you are reading short paragraphs that go with. You are supposed to open them on seven nights, but we just read it all in one sitting repeatedly!

Anyway, in these little boxes are pieces that go in the nativity – they get to place them in after each box is opened. I love that it is interactive and I have enjoyed watching their delight in placing the pieces just-so to see it look beautiful.

Not a book, but another favorite is the Very First Noel DVD – short, cute and follows Scripture well.

Enjoy the season!
Monica

I’m glad you could use the pattern. It turned out very cute. I bought the pattern at a quilt shop in McCall called Huckleberry Patches.

At least it makes it easy to remember

That is *awesome*. Abel loves to unload the dishwasher, with his servingware in a drawer he can reach. And Judah’s taken to helping me with the laundry, which is hard because he doesn’t do it “right” (i.e. my anal retentive way), but I know in ten years I’ll never get him to touch it, so I’m appreciating what I have right now.

I got a chuckle out of this. She looks so cute and she did a good job.

You are already raising a kid that figured out how to get other people to work for her, nice job.

I like the picture of Pete in jail and Isabelle looks sad.

Great party though, looks good.
