Our Advent Activities recap

These are in no particular order and I, of course, didn't get pictures of everything we did. We also didn't follow our plan exactly (as I knew we wouldn't) but it was so nice to have a plan and to have activities prepared in advance. My favorite part this year was teaching the girls about other countries and praying for friends/family serving in other places. Catherine can now correctly identify a handful of countries on the world map too, which is a plus.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

The one we decided on

a runner up

Catherine looks so cute, but Ann is eating her own hand

 This is where they almost dropped Abigail...

...so we tried another pose. But that wasn't very successful either
