This is the one....he said! Now he calls our tree, "my tree"!
So Deveraux decided to use some birthday money and buy a tree for her and Bobo to enjoy in their bedroom. It was a process of deciding which tree, how much money would she have left....but she really wanted one.
Very happy with her pick...she had her eye out for the right one!
Proud owners!
Here we go.....
We decided since Deveraux has always hung out angel on top of the tree that Bobo will get to hang the first ornament on our tree each year.
I love this set of pictures!
First night of Advent
Advent has always been a highlight of our Christmas season.
For this year, we usually light a candle read "Advent Storybook", read a Christmas book, hang a Jesse tree ornament, sing a carol, and pray. This year we added an advent reading that was a free download from Ann Voskamp's blog: A Holy Experience. Deveraux said that she looks forward to Advent and this new reading has become one of her favorite parts this season. I am delighted when Devearux is concerned when we will fit Advent in our evening if we have evening plans, I can tell she really enjoys it.
Deveraux's first time reading for us at Christmas
It was an enjoyable evening!
We love our tree!
A good time had by all...."And to all a good night!"
My favorite quotes so far...
Deveraux, "Without Jesus, there would be no Christmas"
Bobo, "I just love my tree!"
Drew, 'I didn't start having childhood memories until I met you"...I believe in reference to all that we do for traditions and marking the moment.
