Can you believe Christmas is only 2 weeks away?!? We have been having so much fun getting into the holiday spirit. We made a chain to count down the days which the boys love. I also made my first Advent calendar so we've been doing a special family activity each night. Some of our favorite activities so far have been: (1) Watching movies together (The Grinch, Rudolph, Frosty), (2) Coloring pictures of angels for those we love, (3) Reading our Christmas books and talking about Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. I love how Joey is so into Christmas... we have been trying to keep him focused on the true meaning of Christmas this year and I think this is the first year he's really starting to "get it".
Sam is really into Santa. We've already seen him 3 times (he seems to be EVERYWHERE). I never in a million years thought he would like Santa so much (he's normally scared of strange men) but he just loves him. He talks about him all the time and wants Santa to bring him a horsey. Joey keeps reminding him that he has to be good if he wants Santa to bring him his horsey.

| Here is our Christmas countdown. If nothing else, it helps them practice their counting. |

| Silly Freddie! He colored Joey & Sam a picture last night. |
