The blog is finally up to date. There’s even a same-day post. I probably have a few typos, but Wesley will find and fix them soon enough.
Here’s what I’ve added:

Let it Snow…
I love the snow. James shares my love. It rarely snows this early in December where we live. After naptime, I took the kids outside as Wesley studied for finals. It started to sleet and Naomi still isn’t a big fan of the snow or cold. James threw snowballs and rolled balls of snow.
Mimi wanted to be held, so we compromised, and I pulled her in the wagon as we walked through our neighborhood.
After a while, we dropped Naomi off at home, so James and I could make a mini-snowman. James is confident that he will be able to make a big snowman all by himself when he goes to Grandma and Babu’s house.

Advent Activities 2010
We are doing family activities each night in December. I have visions of a beautiful homemade Advent calendar, but first I need to learn to sew. James really wanted a paper chain again, so that is what we did. I think it also helps the kids visualize how many days until Christmas.
This year’s list includes: Open and read 3 Christmas stories, make a Christmas craft, watch the Polar Express and have hot cocoa, see Santa, set up the Christmas Tree, make salt dough ornaments, take out the kids’ nativity set, work on Nativity activity sheets, go to the movie theater, shop for Angel tree and wrap gifts, open family gift, have cookies and milk, drive around and look at Christmas lights, go ice skating, make gingerbread houses, deliver goodies to the neighbors, make gifts for family, pack for our trip & have hot cocoa, wrap gifts, attend family Christmas party, read Christmas stories and recite Luke 2
James and Naomi are very excited and take turns removing a link.
