So, December flew by and January starts tomorrow. I am so excited for 2012 but before I get into all that, I didn't get to put all of our family traditions on the blog and wanted to share a few. The first few are activities from our Advent Calendar that I talked about here. We had a lot of fun with an activity every day.
Here the kids are reading a story about the meaning of Christmas. Gavin chose a traditional Christmas story and then also chose "The Tale of the Three Trees" which is one of my absolute favorite stories about Jesus. Madeline read about Jesus in Luke 2.
We also had "Fancy Family Dinner" where we all had to dress up. Madeline and I wore dresses and the boys wore ties. I'm not sure we'd have qualified as stylish at all but both kids thought it was really fun.

We spent a night making paper snowflakes that we used to decorate our patio doors and another night making pine cone garland covered in glitter.
There were also nights of Wii, Christmas Poems, Christmas lights and a host of other fun things.

Madeline was also in the Christmas musical at school as Pink Beard the Pirate.

| It's a Pirate Christmas |
 |
| Even Santa and Mrs. Claus were there |
 |
| That sure is a pretty Piratess in the front! |
 |
| She did a fantastic job! |
And we haven't even celebrated Christmas yet!
