Christmas Wishes

I really enjoyed this quote from the Christmas Devotional this year.

We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas this year! Love from the Joslin Family :)

Christmas is Coming

Well, Christmas is making it's way into our life. Russell, much like Curious George in A Very Monkey Christmas, has asked every day since Thanksgiving if it is Christmas in the morning.

Ben braved the wind and put lights up on the house. It wasn't terribly cold, and clearly, we are missing snow:(

 We got our tree last Saturday. Russell was very excited. I was excited because we found trees for $25 isntead of $60.

 She gt the hang of it pretty quick. And, she keeps taking care of the tree everyday by rearranging ornaments when I am not looking.

 Happy to have our tree. The presents haven't been any problem so far.

 I bought this rice krispie Christmas train kit on clearance last year, so I broke it out and let Russell decorate it today. Clearly he is very happy.

We are excited for Christmas (break!!) to come. I got most of our Christmas cards sent today. We have been listening to Christmas music. We attended the Wonder of the Nativity event the Stake puts on every year. We were distracted by kids running around the house watched the Christmas Devotional with our friends. We are going caroling with the playgroup kids. Our annual white elephant book club is this week.
