Ice skating
We went ice skating with friends yesterday.
It was tons of fun.
Butterscotch Chip was really good at it and helped teach the younger kids. I don't know what we would have done without her! I have not done much like this since having Mini Chip.
We got to meet some friends of friends which was really great. We have heard lots about them and it was nice to finally put faces with the names.
(I didn't show them here because I don't have their permission.)
Mini Chip had to...
...curl his hair in preparation for the fun!
Lol!
Apparently he had been watching me curl Chocolate Chips hair :-)
Every once in a while it's fun to be reminded that even at 18 months, they are watching your every move and waiting for an opportunity to mimic it back for you :-)

Advent Time
As a child, I celebrated Advent with my mom and siblings. I can tell you that I have the memory of the candles in the wreath and a peaceful feeling and that the candles were pink and purple.
This year I have made our own Advent wreath. The candles are not colored the same as when I was a child but we are celebrating Advent just the same. We light a candle every Sunday of Advent and read specific verses from the Bible about the Old Testament prophecy and the New Testament fulfillment of that prophecy.
Also, each one of the kids have made an Advent calendar and together we are reading this book: Jotham's Journey.
It is a wonderful and fun book. We truly look forward to reading it each day. The story is very entertaining and exciting even while it teaches us things we did not know and reminds us of things we did know about this awesome time of celebrating Jesus birth.
Celebrating,
Mrs. Cookie
