We read the Christmas story from their Bible Story Book and then pray together on Christmas morning before opening gifts. I love the Advent trees! Adorable!! You are doing an amazing job on Xander's painting! Wow! Oh- and for the hair loss, it usually starts around 2 mo and peaks at 4 mo, so hopefully you won't have to deal with it too much longer!Terahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13019638129628307219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053280.post-59575424969225183292009-11-18T18:38:26.050-08:002009-11-18T18:38:26.050-08:00I love the santa pic!!

Kinda like people here, some always do things on Christmas eve, while others celebrate Christmas day. Either way, lots of days to pick from :)Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821787656180664339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053280.post-36526472719309386642009-11-17T18:25:41.461-08:002009-11-17T18:25:41.461-08:00i love those advent calendars! i never really grew...i love those advent calendars! i never really grew up with them, but i want to start those for our kids. hopefully this year? :)<br />i thought st. nick day was dec. 5th... but maybe just in the dutch world?<br />xander is just the CUTEST LITTLE THING!!!! so adorable :) He and Ariel must be well known around Ladner for being uber-cute and incredibly well-dressed :)kelly enshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029562951606332352noreply@blogger.com
