New Christmas traditions

This year we started a few new Christmas Traditions in our home...The first being the Advent Wreath. Thanks to Mom, Grandma Dottie, we now have a beautiful Advent Wreath on our table to light every night when we sit down for dinner. Now that the kids are getting a little bit older we're starting to teach them the true meaning of Christmas and what it's all about. It's neat to see them get excited each week we get to light a new candle.

The second tradition is our Elf that made his appearance yesterday on our kitchen shelf. Halle was the first to notice him! Both the kids got SO excited that they now have their very own Elf! They decided to name him John Johnny Christmas Bell...too funny. It will be fun to see where he shows up each morning after returning from the North Pole!

Here he is...John Johnny Christmas Bell
