Advent photos

Appropriately enough Ezra is sucking on his purple binky in the pictures below. Of course trying to do our first Advent readings with a toddler meant lots of squirming and walking about all while our dog decided it was a good time to throw up. Ezra did enjoy listening to us sing “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.”

    Just been to the shops to buy yet more Christmas nick-nacks, we even have outdoor lights for the first time ever! They are simple icicle type things, but we figured we’re in America now and we have to keep up!

    Nothing like your dog throwing up to help you get in the spirit of Advent…

    Stella was not impressed with O Come O Come Emmanuel during our family Advent reading last night (we missed the first day!). We tried to teach it to her, but she preferred to make up her own song. We gave up after the first verse.
