And More and More Like Christmas

There's been a steady hum of Christmas activities since Thanksgiving...

The piano room got accent lighting.

Fina's very amazing Advent Calendar!

Reminded us all of Crown Center and the ice rink.

The Dickens Village got put up above the kitchen cupboards.
And got new LED lights, too.

Jamie helped First Company put their float
together for the big Christmas Parade.

St. Nicholas visited Family Dinner tonight.

Look who broke his arm!

Go get 'em, girl!

Looking a Lot More...

Christmas kept coming and coming all weekend long...

AJ and Griffen got new bunk beds with "offices" below each.

Bring on Christmas!

The day after Thanksgiving is often quite a day, and this day-after was no exception. There was lots of Black Friday activity. Leftovers being eaten all the day long. All the Christmas stuff was staged in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. We even had a birthday celebration. And what was the topic of Friday Family Dinner? Christingles! And Advent/Hope, too, of course. Oh, and Christmas movies; Noelle is quite good.

A Christingle.

Christmas is staged in the hallway with care...

Oh my...

Perfect seasonal puzzle.
