Count your blessings instead of sheep

On this particular weekend, I wasn’t feeling the best, so rather than trying to work during the kids’ rest time on Saturday like I normally do, I decided to just lay on the couch and watch a movie. Jon was doing an open house, so I told Nathan he could watch with me if he wanted to.

It’s Christmastime, so obviously I decided to watch a Christmas movie. And I figured it was time that Nathan was exposed to possibly the most iconic Christmas movie ever:

White Christmas!! He LOVED it. He was so into it, it wasn’t even funny.

Ha! Once the other two were up, they were super into it as well. It was so cute. We watched it like four more times in less than two days. 😉

I came in from eating breakfast and found them like this. They were elves helping Santa deliver presents, Eisley was in the sleigh. 😉 So funny.

Every year, Jon and his big helper put the lights up! This year was our first year with a two story house, so that added an interesting new dynamic to the installation. We had to borrow a big ladder but it ended up looking great!

We are smack in the middle of Advent season and we are loving it! On this night, we were supposed to get frozen yogurt, but we opted for snowcones instead. 😉 Such a fun night! I love this time of year. Advent has become such a special family thing!
