We leave in just a few days for California, so we are attempting to get the last few things we need to do  before Christmas in since we get back just in time for Eisley’s birthday, baking day and Christmas Eve!

Three dressed up kids all ready for a fancy night out!

This is our most favorite advent event – the Melting Pot! We started this a few years ago and now it’s something we all look forward to all year!

The big boys. 🙂 Nathan LOVES this night and talks about it all the time!

Me and the Parker Bear. Eisley was way more interested in a banana than taking a picture. Ha!

At the beautiful Uptown tree! Love our special night!

Jon was taking the kids upstairs for baths on this night, rammed his elbow into the wall and yelled, “Ow!” Nathan, who was finishing up his dessert, says, “Ow…O-W…Hey! That’s a double letter phonogram!” Ha! We died.

Oh guys – I had like a little mini-spazz-out moment this day – Eisley girl’s first pigtails!! She has NO hair so that fact that I could barely get some in the band was sort of a miracle, but she looked so sweet!

Love these cold, winter nights with our three jammied babies around the Advent calendar – such a wonderful time of year!
