Getting clean!

Today, we gave thanks for the blessing of bathtubs and showers with running water in our home. We put in 12 cents for each person who took a bath or shower today which was all 3 of us!We started opening the doors on our Advent calendar yesterday too. The middle is metal and each door contains a magnetized piece inside to put inside the stable. Yesterday, door #1 contained a star which Maggie promptly put in the stable. This morning, a man was inside door #2. When Maggie pulled him out, she said, "It's GOD!" Hee. She decided he needed to go in the stable too. When I told her that I thought it might be Joseph, she scoffed at me and said, "MOMMY. That's not Joefus!"

Finally, in response to some comments and questions:

Kristi and Cindy--Kylie and Caroline SO need pink trees. It was only $15 at Walmart! And it's pre-lit! You know you want one too.

Kristi--I will send you a copy of my list but I need to type it up first.

Jon--Yes, we have a list that we are following!

And tomorrow, blankets!
