The eighth day of Advent

This morning we knew that the Cat in the Hat was missing but we couldn't find him this morning.  We talked to Grandma Olson and she asked where we found Cat in the Hat this morning and Little N said that he hadn't found him yet but that once we found him that we could send him to Grandma's house to live.  We chatted some more and then Grandma showed him her Christmas wreath and Little N wanted to show Grandma Olson the Christmas wreath that we made for our door.  We opened the door and discovered that Cat in the Hat went and sat outside on the Christmas wreath which everyone thought was really funny.

Today for the 8th day of Advent our activity was to make fudge but I didn't have all the supplies for making fudge so John made banana bread with the boys.  I didn't take pictures because I was frantically getting ready for my girls craft night.  We had a girls night and the guys watched the kids...another time the guys will get together and the girls will get together and watch the kids.  Because I have no pictures of our craft night and of the boys cooking with John and every post is better with pictures enjoy these pictures of Little H playing.

Little H is getting braver and braver last night when we had our company she decided to take 4 steps unassisted.  Today she has been squatting while she has been playing and then trying to stand up and walk a couple steps with to either John or I.

The Scripture Verse for today is found in Matthew 1:18 – This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
