Advent Calendar Dec. 4

Today was "Watch a Christmas Movie" on our advent calendar.  After church we headed to Blockbuster to rent a movie.  We selected "A Merry Madagascar" which, apparently, is a very short movie at only 22 minutes, so it ended up being "Watch Christmas Movies" because we followed that up by watching the Christmas classic, "The Grinch." 

 

We did a lot of enjoying the winter wonderland this weekend.  Here's a view from our backyard looking over the neighborhood: 

 

Ian went sledding more these past two days than he did all of last year.  He just wanted to keep going and going; didn't matter if he got snow in his face or fell of the sled.  After Annaliese went down once, her immediate reaction was to ask to go inside. So after a bit of crying when she realized we weren't headed in, she went down another time with Darrin and Ian, and from then on, just kept saying, "More. More."  

 

 

And just a cute shot of my girl:
