sweet home, sweet home

That's what Hazel said when we got home on Saturday. And though I am certainly glad to be in my own bed again, I started missing the beach yesterday. It was cold and windy (at least by Texas standards) and all my pictures looked so warm and relaxing. We had a great time in South Padre, especially with Jake and Amy and their family with us. (Check out their blog for more on our activities there.) We are looking forward to seeing them again soon! But for now, I'm excited about Christmas.

I got this new advent calendar and I've filled each little box with a fun seasonal activity. Today's countdown activity is snowflake making. This is one of our traditions. I'll show the finished product tomorrow. This year, we're going to celebrate every day!
