Lots of exciting preparation for Christmas! Advent is just such a favorite time of year for us and I get so much joy out of watching the Christmas magic shine through the kids

Amelia was in town in December with Tante Amy and she got to sit in on the Advent prayer at Charlotte's preschool!

Happy Advent Season!!
