Today the boys had the chance to make cards for someone close to home. I asked who they wanted to make them for, and Markus triumphantly announced the girls next door. This is Wyatt's masterpiece of modern art, and on the inside he wrote:

He's 3, and I don't pretend to know what he's up to.

Everyday life. Messy stuff included.

This photo looks very similar to one from last year...today we baked peppernuts, and have eaten a few as well. I can't believe these kids, who usually give a loud protest to anything remotely spicy, would eat the whole stash of these cookies if I'd let them.
Today we went to the library to find some Christmas books. It was so cute when Bailey walked up to the shelf - she saw this book, saw the baby on the cover and exclaimed, "Jesus!" It was definitely her pick to take home.
Today's task was to drink hot chocolate - how torturous! Clay made it even sweeter by suggesting we make it from scratch. Here's Wyatt, being a very sweet little helper.
I had such a hard time choosing a photo today - every one that I took captured such hilarious expressions on these boys' faces! I love Markus' cheesy smile, and Wyatt's kissy face cracks me up.
Our third advent activity had them making Christmas cards for someone far away, and we'll pop them in the mail later today. Two very lucky people are going to have some very sweet cards in their mailbox next week!

I'm doing an activity each day with the kids for advent as we anticipate Christmas. Today's activity was to decorate the boys' room with their own set of lights.
I'm going to try to post a shot of each activity over the next 24 days :)
Also, I'm undecided as to what to do about my post titles now. Should I start counting over again from one?

365. There is a finality in the number, but this is not the end.
You may have figured out my shot for today, but if not, let me explain. I'm having another baby! Right now our little 11 week old is the size of a lime :) So near the end of June next year, we'll be welcoming another beautiful child to our family. We are so excited!
I've decided to continue with this project, as it is such a treasure to look back on the past year and can't imagine not documenting my daily life anymore. Of course I would still take pictures, but this is a wonderful forum in which to share them. Thank you to everyone who has followed me, encouraged me, and inspired me. I look forward to continuing the journey!

Mandarin oranges - one of the best tastes of the season.
Tomorrow will be my 365th photo! Stay tuned...
