A Goedken Advent


Gramma says we look just like Grampa.


I think it's because we're wearing our "Grampa" shirts.

The boys are so good at entertaining themselves.  Their minds are always working.  Their creativite energy is compounded by their collaberation. 


The boys helped put the ornaments on the lower branches of the tree.  They have their favorite ornaments; the birdhouse with chimes attached, the violin (with no bow), Santa on ice skates and the ornaments with their pictures on them.  I find I enjoy my ornaments more sharing them and their stories with the boys. 
We share the story of Jesus' birth at the wooden creche Grampa made.  The boys know where Baby Jesus will be placed.  But for now, we're waiting.  We also talk about the new baby Matt and Megan will have soon.  This is a special Advent for the Goedkens.


Decorating the Christmas tree can be messy work.  Good thing Grampa has me to help.
