Tallahassee Christmas

We had a great Christmas! We spent Christmas day in Tallahassee and Andy's parents and his Grandma came over. The next day we headed to Ocala to have Christmas with my parents. We started off our day by doing our last candle on our advent wreath and letting Drew help us tell the story of Jesus' birth. Then we had YUMMY cinnamon rolls and we put a candle in it and sang Happy Birthday to Jesus. We wanted to make sure that the focus of our day was that we were celebrating Jesus.

If you can see, there is a red sign on the wall and it said "Days until Christmas". I had made construction paper rings, and each morning leading up to Christmas Drew would come downstairs and pull a ring off and count how many days were left until Christmas. He really enjoyed it. Here he is pulling the last ring off.

Drew as a police officer. (The glasses look just like a pair I saw on an 8th grade picture of Andy) He was cool!

Drew's big present was a trampoline. Before purchasing it, we looked on consumer reports to find out what kind would be best. All we found was "DO NOT BUY A TRAMPOLINE. THEY ARE DANGEROUS." Drew is good about being cautious so we felt okay, but if we post an injury on here in a few months, please keep all "you should have known better" to yourselves. :)

Here's Knox hanging out on Christmas with his usual look; SMILING

Knox thought it would be funny to pretend like he was a present. He didn't quite fit in the box, but he was trying!

Here is Drew with his book from his Great Grandma and Grandpa Jaffe. He LOVES books and trucks, so it was a perfect gift. We've read it almost every day since he got it.

(Examples: necklace I found at a store and said was my favorite as we were shopping for someone else, one of my favorite movies (Anne of Greene Gables, clothing from my favorite store, Ann Taylor)
