Days 22, 23, 24 & 25 of the Advent Angel...and Merry Christmas!

Don't think I'll be updating here 'till after Christmas, so figured I would just pop on and let you know how our Advent Angel will round out this month.

Day 22: No one got anything. The kids were out of control crazy when my sister and her kids came over (don't worry, Soni, it wasn't your kids), and all the rules went out the window. Why is it that the instant another child steps foot in this house, our kids morph into some crazy freakish children that jump on the couch and run down the halls and scream at the top of their lungs?? Oh wait, maybe that just happens all the time. Anyhoo, the kids got a sad note from the Angel letting them know she was disappointed in their behavior.

Which leads me to another post I will write about after Christmas--we've developed a new "code word" for our home...it's wonderful, and I can't wait to share it with you.

Day 23: Tonight we'll have a birthday party for Jesus. I'll be posting pics after Christmas. There will be cake and presents (in the form of thankful words) and an empty chair just for Him.

Day 24 (tomorrow): The Advent Angel will leave each child a note telling them something special that she has observed about them over the last 24 days...and maybe include a piece of candy. =)

Day 25 (Christmas): All the kids will leave thank-you notes and cookies for the Angel and in the morning, their notes will be gone! Miraculous.

So, friends, Merry Christmas! May you be richly blessed over these next few days with family, friends, food, and the joy of our Savior filling your hearts! I'll see you in a few days...
