Photo-A-Day: Days 21-25

...a continuation of our Holiday Photo-A-Day project...

{Day 21}: Snowflake Lane
Our second annual trip to Snowflake Lane. It was brrrrrr-freezy but super fun! Thankful that our friend Becca could join us, especially to see this photo in person:
Somebody buy my kid some personality, he seems to be lacking!
I think the Snow Queen was more interested in Isaac than Isaac was in her :)


This sweet elf saw me signing to Isaac, disappeared for a moment then returned to sign "I'm from the North Pole. What's your name?"  Isaac was floored...so was I!

We had front row seats to this student-with-ADD-turned-successful-street-performer's mini concert!




{Day 22}: Best "new" Nativity Book
Joseph has always had a soft spot in my Nativity heart. Much was asked of Mary in her obedience to birth Jesus, but Joseph's obedient response as an adoptive father was equally, if not more powerful. I snagged this book at Half Price Books to add to our Christmas library and I haven't been able to read through it once without weeping...

"...What lullabies should I sing to someone who taught the angels to dance and peppered the sky with songbirds? How can I teach him his words and letters: he who strong the alphabet together, he who whispered dreams into a million, million ears, in a thousand different languages? The very thought of it leaves me speechless..."



{Day 23}: Track 13
The favorite Christmas song of choice this year is Track 13 on the "Duck The Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas" CD. Nothing like the velvety tones of the Duck Dynasty clan singing Silent Night to satisfy a 6 year old's heart (...one gazillion times). 


{Day 24}: Home Improvement
Christmas is just 1 week away and it's only 24 degrees outside, but that is not stopping new siding being put up and other much needed projects around the house getting done. Thankful for a contractor that promised to get everything done in time and he is sticking to it!


{Day 25}: Feliz Navi-Pneumonia
It hit him quick and hard. A trip to his pediatrician AND to our friends in the Emergency Room confirmed it. The ER team met us with a hearty "Hey! We haven't see you guys in a while!" Darn it, we ALMOST made it through 2016 without any urgent medical issues. ALMOST. Thankfully, we didn't have to stay but a few hours. Here's hoping for ZERO hospitalizations in 2016 (12 months without a hospitalization has yet to happen for us yet...)
