tis' the season

I love Christmas. Last night I put together a list of things we are hoping to do this month as we celebrate Christmas. I printed them out and put them inside the little doors of our advent calendar for Halle to open each day in the hopes that each day we could do something fun or something to bring us closer to the true meaning of Christmas. I think Halle will love it. Here is what we came up with:

Dec. 1: Live Nativity in Alpine to start the season off right

Dec. 2: Ward Christmas Party

Dec. 3: Decorate Christmas tree

Dec. 4: Make ornaments

Dec. 5: Christmas cards to loved ones far away
