Emma: I wonder what Jesus is calling us to do today...
Jackson: He's calling us to obey our moms.

Jackson: There was a snow monster in "snow epic" (Frozen).  
Me: yeah, and he was big and mean, huh? 
Jackson: yeah, but he was technically protecting the one girl...

Jackson: Did you know reindeers can spit out nose carrots?!? That was my favorite part. It was SO FUNNY!!!!

talking to the babysitter after our date...

Sitter: Yeah, I told jackson he was being so cute. And he responded, "You are TERRIBLY cute..."
John: Jackson, are you pretty cute?
Jackson: Yeah, I try.

Twelve days of Christmas, too Emma a while to figure out day 1...

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...
...a partrician in a pear tree.
...a partrician on a pineapple tree.

Jackson stopped singing "o, happy day" in the mirror and asked me... Is my sin washed away yet? Because I have lots of sinning times.

11 on 11

Because I never remember to do 10 on 10 until I see posts by others the following day. Here's my 11 on 11 

Early morning prayer... Been needing to be very intentional this week with a right perspective... Holidays are easy times for grief to sneak in...

Breakfast with the kiddos...

She painted her own nails...

I added the snowmen...

A little school...

Starting our advent readings from The Jesus Storybook bible. We purchased the deluxe edition a while back when it was crazy cheap for some reason. It includes audio CDs as well as all of the stories read verbatim and put to animation on a DVD. Amazing stuff. Constant reminders that "every story whispers His name."

Playing knex... Jackson made a gun...

"I'm hungry..." A resounding chorus from this one today...pb/Nutella sandwiches.

Finishing final orders of the year...

Anxiety every time I look at this... Pray I get it clean tmr... We moved both desks up to our bedroom and things have exploded in the move... 

Daddy's home... Quick game of "two n a pile"

Not pictured: dinner, AWANA, Christmas lights, bedtime...
