When we made the decision to live the way we do, one of the stated benefits was going to be more family time. The trick about that is one must actually do it. I can say, with some certainty, we have yet to set aside time to just have fun as a family. We have been moving, e-baying, sorting, just being…we have been very busy.
Tonight I decided we needed to just do it. We have several hours every night that we are not using to clean the house, work in the yard or have a second job, so what are we going to do? Get ready for Christmas! Our older boys helped us cut and decorate 25 strips of construction paper to make an advent paper chain. Everyday, we will tear off a link and read the scripture about Christ which we wrote on it. The boys loved the time spent on them and our rewards are being seen.
This weekend we will play the part of the Griswalds and go get our Christmas Tree. I am still not sure exactly where we will put it!
