advent

Our first Sunday of Advent got off to a rocky start when Jonah spent 15 minutes crying hysterically about the candles. "I don't want it to be Jesus' birthday! I want it to be my birthday!" Hanging the Advent calendar on the wall didn't go over to well either. "I want my game! I don't want my game to be on the wall!" On the other hand, it's great to see how focused Annie is on Advent this year, instead of on Santa and presents - not that those aren't in the equation for her. But, she's much more excited to light the candle and read our story every night at dinner and she's talking a lot about how we are waiting for Jesus. After dinner on we popped popcorn and watched A Charlie Brown Christmas.
