Advent Activities . . .

Today our Advent Calendar activity

was to go to the mall, look at Santa,

and get a Cinnabon.

We were only too excited to do just that.

Actually, Luke signed up to wrap

CHRISTmas gifts for his Boy

Scout troop at the mall, so it

all worked out perfectly.

We ate our Cinnabons, rolled around

on the floor, and then drove to see

these amazing lights.

From the pictures that my little

photog Luke took, it looks as though

we drove by at lightening speed,

but we did not. The homes were

beautifully decorated.

The whole street was set to music

and the owners of the homes were

handing out hot cocoa.

The air certainly was CHRISTmasy

as Reno has been hit with a

Pineapple Express storm.

We may need to visit this gorgeous

cul-de-sac again to take some

more pictures . . .

We are having fun preparing for the

CHRISTmas season and the official

countdown has begun. Luke is so excited!

The bigger guys are trying to act as

though they can wait until the

BIG DAY, but they are getting pretty

excited as well.

We pray that you and your

family are having a wonderful

time celebrating Jesus also!
