Advent Calender

Newly married + student (taking 16 credits) + working part time = no blogging

Life is great. Super duper busy, but when will it not be! Only two weeks left of school. That's what we are excited about around here. Despite our anxiousness to be done with the semester, it has flown by. This year has also just flown right by.

We are excited to be able to spend this Christmas together, for the first time in three years. Also, to have it be our first one as a married couple. We have decided a few traditions that we want to start in our family, and it has made this year exciting. It's always fun starting new things with someone that you love.
One of the things that we both wanted to do with our family now, as well as in the future, is to do an advent calendar. Filled with many different Christmas related activities and fun things.

Here is a picture of day 1: Setting up Christmas decorations. Another tradition we had discussed was giving each other Christmas ornaments. This is one that I gave to Isaac this year.

Day 2 was going to The Forgotten Carols.
Last night, Isaac and I had the opportunity to go to The Forgotten Carols (thanks to his parents!). It was my first time going, and it was just so great. Definitely made me think a little bit more about how I want this Christmas to be. It also helped to get me more into the real Christmas spirit. It hasn't felt like it could be even remotely close to Christmas yet.

Day 3: Writing down all of our advent ideas and putting them into our cute advent calender!

Hopefully I will be better at blogging this month, so that I can keep record of everything that we do this Christmas season.
