We love starting and continuing traditions with the girls. Alexis is a such a great age!! You can see her understand something and do her very best to explain it again to her "baby" sister. A super sweet sight. THe girls most favorite thing to play with so far this season is out Fisher Price Nativity set. Annelyse Scout loves playing and taking care of baby Jeeezus! Lexi will tell her that god is always watching us and Jesus is his son. Scoutie says ok and then takes the set and Lexi tells her how they have to keep everything together. Already loving how our faith and love of our savior is bringing these two special sisters closer (I maybe reading a touch into it)
We introduced our Elf on the Shelf. We had picked a name but them while reading the story to the girls I learned that it was the girls job! As I'm holding my breath because it took Jeremiah and I hours of searching anagrams and elf names (there really is a site of elf names I believe from The Lord of the rings ... Who knew) well Alexis picked a billion names and each she would say "nope that's taken" she was coming up with names of her classmates. So every time that I thought of a name I'd say t and she would shoot it down. For a while t was Skittles but when Avery was thrown out she Loved it.
Alexis had a hard time the first day completely believing in the elf but she's come around. We weren't going to force it but by the morning of the 4th she was totally into it and her enthusiasm pumped up Annelyse. It's been great fun for me!!
Our favorite time so far has been our daily Christmas book that Avery decides we should read as a family. He even wraps them for the girls to open daily.
THeres more to come Stay tuned....
