Well, the countdown is definitely on! Ruthie and Zech have advent calenders (the little chocolate in the window ones) and they love getting their treat every night! Ruthie's been telling us every morning what number the day is and which chocolate she'll get. Zech doesn't really get the whole idea, but he likes the treats! Grandma and Grandpa (Patti and Ken) have sent us our presents all ready, and they're sitting under the tree. To Zech this means it is Christmas, thus we open the presents. Each day we remind him that it's not Christmas until all his chocolates are gone. So far, so good. But we'll see what happens as the days continue to go by - a little guy can only wait so long!!
This weekend's another busy one. We're going to Brandon tonight to try to see the Holiday Train (going across the country to raise donations for food bank, I think? stops in a bunch of towns for a half hour concert) I don't know how long Zech will care about the music, but I'm sure he'll love to see the train pull in with christmas lights!
Then tomorrow we're going to get in for church in the morning, go for lunch, and then go to a different church's (jill and reg's church) christmas concert. It's some neat singing christmas tree concert, supposed to be really good. So, I'm sure the kids will enjoy that one, too!
And that's about it for now!

Oh! Bethlehem Live went well. Ruthie did really well staying outside with us - the first night she lasted almost an hour, the second night she stayed out for 1.5 hours! I didn't, however, get any pictures of us dressed up. By the time we got there and got fed and ready, we were late... so no pictures. But I've put a bunch of new pictures and one new video on the site for any who wanna peek! I'll put a few on here, too.

Okay pictures aren't working right now and I have a tired baby in my lap. I'll get him down for a nap and try the picutres again later! If nothing else, just go through the link to the photos and videos and you can see them all!
