Getting Ready for Christmas

We officially started getting ready for Christmas this week, beginning with the tree.  As I put up the lights, the girls were patiently waiting so they could put up the ornaments.  To pass the time, they ended up putting together a cute little Christmas skit and used tissue papers from the Christmas box to complete Santa's beard.  After the performance, the decorating began.  Taelyn was excited because it was her turn this year to put up the star, and she didn't need any of us to help her the entire time.


On December 1st, the girls woke up and found their own advent calendar waiting for them on the couch, filled with chocolates for each day until Christmas.  Along with the calendars, they also received their very own Elf on the Shelf!  We read the story together to learn more about this elf, and gave her the name Rosie Bell before heading off to school.  By the time the girls came home, Rosie Bell had left them a note, thanking them for the name and telling them a little bit about herself.  She is visiting until Christmas to spread the love and joy of Christmas and to help our family do good deeds for others.  We are excited to see what Rosie Bell has planned over the next few weeks!
