I am attempting to get this entry in November so that I can still reasonably include these adorable videos of A wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. It was a nice throwback to last year's video, too. :) We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my sister and her family. I am so thankful they are nearby. We all missed Jasper this year, particularly whenever anyone dropped a piece of food and then had to pick it up. Despite the week/month/semester's sadness and busyness, we are very thankful for all of the blessings in our life.
I've also linked last year's Christmas kick off post so you can see how things have/haven't changed. I'm excited about updates to our tree.
Miss A is so excited about the holidays. She was asking to decorate for Christmas before Halloween.
We have been making sure to give Madeline love lots of extra love every day.
Tomorrow starts our fun 25 days of Christmas. The next three weeks are going to be really busy at work for both me and Chad but I really loved all of the fun activities from last year and that they gave me something to look forward to in the evenings. Thus, I've decided to try again this year mostly with more low-key activities that we did previously and were fun/not a lot of work.
We also got a new advent calendar.
I'm excited also for the reappearance of the kindness elves (and hope I don't regret them this year!). In that spirit, I also came across a "kindness calendar" that will serve as a nice challenge, mainly for me but also to try to work into our daily activities. I definitely need it these days! :)
