Decorating

The week after Thanksgiving we did a lot of decorating. We helped at both churches (although there are only pictures at Farmer) and we got our own home ready for Christmas too. I've shared (last year) about some of the meanings behind our Christmas decor so while we are decorating and all throughout December we talk about why we use a tree, lights, etc. The kids all enjoy the decorations.

Below, Andrew is placing the star at Farmer Church while my 3 boys watch.

Maddie was content to just hang out with Ms. Erin.
Eli helped Daddy with the bows on our tree at home (I got Ron off guard, can you tell?)

Nathaniel helped hang lights on the smaller tree.

Eli tried to place the star (at least long enough for a photo)

Nathaniel got the smaller one.

The kids love to help decorated and they love to look through the basket of Christmas books that come out this time of year.

Fun times in the Adkins home as we prepare for Jesus Birth!
