First Snow!

We had a small dusting of snow yesterday and our boys loved it!!  We got ready for school and went outside for about 15 minutes before Jackson's bus came.  It's going to be really fun when the big snow comes!!  I think our boys are finally at an age where they can really play and enjoy the snow!  Can't wait!!! 


Shovels in hand, ready to work and play!  Such a fun morning!!

I wanted to write this down so I won't forget...We have never really used Advent calendars, but this year we are doing a prayer chain as a way to count the days until Christmas.  Each night we take off a link and pray for the person or thing.  We ask the boys what they want to pray for and then we pray together as a family.  It's been a really great way to end our day (we do this at bedtime) and I think it's way more meaningful than getting a piece of chocolate.  It works for our family!
