It is the first Sunday of Advent as well as Andrew's feast day! We are so thankful for a visit from our dear friend Kara & her sweet boys. Thrilled to finally meet my little Godson Thomas! He & Andrew were getting quite the kick out of each other. Here's a new one for Isaiah's wall, Kara! It was so nice to see you.

Cumpleanos feliz
Another year. They seem to come so quickly these days! I had a busy but fun birthday. A breakfast of caramel rolls & surprises from my kiddos was a great way to start the day. Andrew even made me a game called "Star Battles" that he came up with all on his own. He knows his mama loves games!
I taught all day & heard "Feliz cumpleanos" sang to me more times than I can count. My favorite was an ambush of 5th graders who turned off the lights & hid until I came in the door before they jumped out to start singing. A 2nd grade class & each of the 4th graders made me cards, too! Some were really sweet, others were really hilarious... mostly due to the proliferation of tacos.
My brother joined us & we went out for a delicious birthday dinner.
Rebecca showing off my present from the kids via "Grandpa Bob" at Church. He wanted them to give it to me.
Thank you, God, for another year & for the abundant blessings you have given me!

First snow
First snow of the season!
Even though it was only 8* out... yes 8... I couldn't resist their pleading to go play in it. Snow is always fun!
Not really enough snow to do much, but it was still plenty of fun!
The snow didn't seem out of place at all as we headed to the "Reason for the Season" event to prepare for Advent. We came home with lots of fun ideas, tummies full of cookies & cocoa, & this adorable gingerbread church. It has an empty manger in front for us to fill with yellow "straw" as we do good deeds during Advent in an attempt to make Jesus' bed all nice & cozy by Christmas.
