Tis the Season

Hope everyone has had a blessed month! We have been busy at the Morgan house. I am not working right now, since I left my underpaid and overstressed job. Roy has been super supportive and this month has been good.

Advent Rings

Roy and Bubba reading the Bible

We made advent rings with 25 verses on every other ring in the shape of a Christmas Tree (well the best MJ could do). We have been reading a verse every night and discussing them. We also have been lighting our Advent Wreath/Candles on the Sundays. It has been good.

 Since the wreath my sister made for me decided to die and fall apart after last year's Christmas, I got a bunch of on-sale items at new years to make a new one this Christmas. MJ and I made this at the beginning of the month. It even has twinkle lights, but you can't see them in the picture. The word in the middle is Christmas.

 Bubba made this Gingerbread (graham cracker) house at school on Monday, we have been nibbling on the candies since.

 MJ wanted to makes some angel wings - she was bored this weekend. So with printed feathers, glitter, duct tape, metal hanger, pantyhose, and tape - TADA!

Angel MJ (I don't know about the Do Rag, it was her style that day.)

The Science Museum was offering $1 entry to see Christmas lights, Santa, hear carolling, and walk through the museum. Roy and Bubba had never been there, so it was an awesome opportunity. The kids decided the Santa wasn't worth standing in line for. The lights were fun (had to video it to get the full effect):

Our Elf on the Shelf came after Thanksgiving and has been causing mischief since. He found MJ's mini-lipsticks and did this to the mirror in the bathroom. He has played games and knocked things off shelves. Candy Cane sure is a handful.
Hope you have had a festive season also. Happy Hanukkah! Merry Christmas! or Happy Holiday!
