Family Advent

• The girls afternoon out lead us to Renee's church to mark the start of the celebration of the birth of Baby Jesus to make an Advent Wreath. Just as he was called "Baby Jesus" we call our new baby "Baby Valerie". We have not transitioned her name to Valerie, we all still call her "Baby Valerie." She is a very special addition to our family. Here she is with her Aunt Angela. Soon we will need to start calling her Valerie.
  The girls made their advent wreath. Sorry I did not get a picture of the final product. Julia also had a chance to make many other Christmas decorations. She says "I do art, I decorating." Just love that girl.
