Obviously we let Easton put the little cloth figures where ever he pleases...hence the star in the manger and several other out of place items. But he loves hearing about the Christmas story and asks for "Mommy talk Jesus" a lot.
I got this advent calendar box last year at an after Christmas sale. I struggled to find something to put into the boxes/doors but finally found these plaster ornaments.
I decided I would have Easton paint an ornament each day before Christmas. It has been a fun activity that he looks forward to each day.
Our tree is now full of colorful plaster ornaments!
We also went out for a little Christmas night downtown. We decided to take a horse and buggy ride around the city center. Despite the fact that Easton's sippy cup fell in a huge pile of horse poop, the ride was great. Easton loved it and even got to sit on the horse after the ride was over.
We also enjoyed a visit from Rob's dad. We went to the Christmas market on the Dublin docks where we browsed the shopping stalls and Easton got to ride on the carosel.
We are really grateful this Christmas for all of our many blessings. We have a beautiful and healthy son, one on the way (who, by the way, my doc thinks already weighs about 6 and a half pounds!!) and many friends and family members who love us and support us. We are also mindful of the Savior and happy to celebrate His birth and reflect on how much He means to us. We hope that you all know how much we appreciate you! And we wish you all a meaningful and Merry Christmas!

Katie, you are such a cute mom! I love that you had Easton paint all of the ornaments. Darling.
Robby, it is good to see that they aren't working you too hard out there and you have some time to have fun. Merry Christmas and congrats on the little one on the way.
So, what are shopping stalls? And by the way, you are a great mom for allowing Easton to decorate. I'm pretty sure there is no way that your baby could weigh 6 1/2 lbs already. When we saw you last month you were tiny, but if he does in fact weigh that much already... good luck.
I love your advent calendars Katie! Where did you get the fabric one? I have been looking for one like that! I think that the plaster ornament idea is really great, we'll have to try that one next year. Happy Holidays!
