yesterday James & I celebrated 13 wonderful years of marriage. Our celebration was a little different this year than past years- six of us eating tons of yummy food at Cheesecake Factory. well, KG only had bread but the boys feasted on lots of bread, bananas, corndogs, french fries, chocolate milk, a few bites of our cheesecake (J- red velvet and K- white chocolate caramel yumminess as James called it), and part of their ice cream. Very sweet celebration! I'm so thankful we could be together to celebrate together.
We've had a good December- we're working on developing our own family traditions. We've been doing lots of fun Christmas crafts and baking. Besides decorating our tree, reading lots of Christmas books, and singing lots of Christmas stories, the boys also made beaded crosses, gingerbread cookies (which I burned), went to story time at the Poe house, made applesauce ornaments, painted pinecones, made pomanders (cloves in oranges). We've spent lots of time enjoying this season with friends and we're looking forward to seeing family in the coming weeks. We've enjoyed our advent calendar each night- the boys are a little more excited about the chocolate about the stories we read but they're still getting that this season is really about God sending His Son as the little baby in the manger.
