Advent

Let the countdown begin! Thanks to Grammy and Papa for hand-delivering this classic, chocolate-filled advent calendar. Each night after dinner, we count the days and enjoy a chocolate treat. We also sing the "Cho-co-la-te" song in Spanish! This pause for sweetness is fulfilling the purpose of an advent calendar in our busy lives this December. I like stopping to see things through Augie's (stunningly blue) eyes, like how he laughed for days at the idea of bringing a tree into our living room. I love how the white lights inspired his use of the word "pretty", which he now uses to describe "pretty tree" and "pretty house". I adore how he scrunches up his darling face while gazing at the tree, allowing his eyes to blur as he sings an improvised carol. Christmas is coming!

Who is this tall boy?
