Both of our kids love to sing. Sadie loves to "play Mass" and pretend she is the cantor. Alleluia is her favorite. Here is a little glimpse of it, and please excuse the accident at the end of the video. All cantors bite the dust at some point of going up and down all those stairs:)!

The Mystery of the Christmas Tree
Time to decorate the tree! Art was on the road so the kids and I had to make due. They lost interest VERY quickly this year so most of it was on me...yay! Joshua was a great helper and listened to directions. Sadie, as usual, had to put her own spin on things.
I had instructed the kids to not put ANY on until I had unpackaged them and had them ready to go. I like to be organized, although that may seem ridiculous with kids! Sadie was sitting behind me and excitedly announced that one had just HOPPED on the tree. Say what? Sure. She maintained that she was sitting there and saw it HOP on the tree. There indeed was one on the tree and was placed just as a three year old would place it:). Or I assume that if you hop on the tree it may end up in the position it did. This was quite the funny argument for a bit and she never admitted to doing it. We will be beefing up our honesty talks in our house:).

It's the Little St. Nick
Happy Feast of St. Nick Day!
The kids got the book The Sparkle Box from St. Nick this year. If you haven't had a chance to look at it yet, and you are a parent, I HIGHLY recommend it. Then you can create your own sparkle box to give as a gift to Jesus on Christmas morning! I am going to love this tradition! We added all sorts of things over Christmas to it...gave blankets and cold weather items to the homeless, visited an animal shelter and played with the puppies, gave secret gifts to friends, and even tried to be a bit kinder when we didn't want to be with our family:).
