Day 22

Day 22 - Tradition

We love doing the advent calendar with the kids, but it's hard to find stuff to fit in the little boxes, so we've started using post-its with little notes written on them.

Day 21

Day 21 - Peace

A picture of our Christmas Cards wishing us peace and happiness.  Yes, that one in the middle is from my push-up buddy George.  He sent me a Xmas card.  Thoughtful of him to remember me :)

Day 20

Day 20 - Tree Topper

Kurt had this when we met.  It's been on the tree ever since.  Micaela really likes it.  This was the first year that Jon got to place it on the tree, next year it will be back to Micaela who is almost tall enough to do it without being held up.

Day 19

Day 19 - Candy Cane

They are slowly disappearing off the tree, but there is at least one left!

Day 18

Day 18 - Stockings

Day 17

Day 17 - Presents

Of course I'm not going to show a picture of the presents, they aren't wrapped yet!  (see Day 10)

So instead I'll show you a present I got from one of the full professors in the department.  It's homemade wine that is very good (well, was very good, it's gone now).  The label says "Grape Expectations, Holiday Red, Dirtman Special Reserve".  Thank you COL Fleming!

Day 16

Day 16: Outside Christmas Lights

Okay, not the greatest display of Christmas lights ever, but we were going to put them up today and then it started raining, so one strand is what you get.  And a Santa flag on a candycane pole.
