It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas!

Evie Joy was so excited about decorating our tree! I call it our Dollar Store Tree because we something called a wholesale market and at the wholesale market there are 2 little shops with maybe 10 baskets of Christmas decorations you would find at the Dollar Store in America. And this is all the Christmas decorations we have where we live but we are so thankful to have found them and we really like our Tree and our decorations!

























as you can see the kids put a lot of the same ornaments low and together :) ha!









they love practicing and retelling the Christmas story over and over with their nativity



And here we are with our crazy busy living room :) our tree, stockings and new Christmas Veggie Tales while Mommy is baking cookies :)

We are also everyday adding to our tree ornaments we make doing the Jesse Tree Lineage of Jesus Advent study each night. WE love it! It is so fun to act out and color our ornaments and learn about the true historical meaning of Christmas! So, we'll have to post a picture later with all our handmade Jesse Tree Ornaments on it :)

Im loving catching up on your blog, Katie. The children look so sweet and happy. Sounds like there are some awesome things going on there even in the midst of daily struggles and darkness. Hugs all around and Im still praying for your family and for the people you come in contact with on a daily basis.
