Christmas is a special time of year for most, but it is extra special for us because our firstborn, Emori, was born on Christmas Day. She LOVES this time of year, and so do her sisters. Each year we drive around looking a Christmas lights on a weekly basis, and we visit "The Lewis'" several times. We made our first of many trips on Saturday to the Lewis'.Kennedi (now 2 yrs) really enjoyed it...she was so funny. She sang "Oh, Christmas Tree" to the top of her little lungs through the entire first half of the lighted walk.
My favorite thing that she says these days (although it has nothing to do with Christmas) is, "Oopie, Days". I assume she's trying to say "Oopsie Daisy"--don't know where she got that from, I don't think we say, but she sure does--a lot:)

I personally love celebrating Advent with our children as well. Last night we started our Advent readings of Yolanda Brown's book. We have tea-light candles that turn on (safer:), and they light their candle and say the prayer for the day together. Although there is not always "peace on earth" while we are trying to get dressed for bed or get our candles ready or read, the girls (and Larry & I) really do love this tradition that helps us look forward to the big celebration of Emmanuel.
