We love opening the doors on our Advent Calendar and putting together the Legos inside! 

                             

Mama went to Costco today and was pleasantly surprised to see that they had toilet paper!! Yay

Then Mama and I got working on my ocean project diorama. I hope it turns out well! I started by painting it all blue like the ocean...my animal will be a Tiger Shark!

Later Mama volunteered at the tree lot again so we went up with her to "help out"....

                              

We ran around and played. We did some hide and seek. Jax lost his Maryland mask. You know, a regular old Thursday!

                               

                              

                                

We ran into some friends and then the sky looked really pretty. Mama tried to get pictures but you get the gist...

                              

                              

                             

When we got home we put our tree together. Got all the lights and ornaments on.

                               

We love looking through our old ornaments from last year. 

                                

The tree looks perfect and it was so fun getting it all put together!

                               

                               

Today we needed to be out of our house so Miss Ana could come and we got to go with Mama to run errands for the first time in probably 8 or 9 months!!  We got to go to Harris Teeter, which was a treat! Who knew how fun it was to go to a grocery store! I guess anything is fun at this point since we can't really do a whole lot!

                              

                              

Then we got to go to World Market for a super quick few things. That was fun and interesting too! Wow, we sure miss stores, and going places and seeing people...hopefully soon we'll get to do more things!

                              

Mama let us get a chocolate bar at World Market that had pretzels in it. It reminded us of a Willy Wonka bar. We were hoping to get the golden ticket!

                               

Later Mama worked at the Christmas Tree lot at St. B's and we got to come up with Daddy and run around. We love running around and playing at the tree lot!

                               

                              

                               

Then it was time to pick out our tree and wreath! I think we really picked a winner this year. It looks perfect!

                               

                               

We even ran into some friends at the lot. That was fun too!

                 

                               

Hooray! The perfect tree!

                               

Then we got to run around some more before heading home. It was great!

                            

                               

Daddy put the tree in it's stand when we got home and boy does it look good already! And it smells amazing! Bring on Christmas!

                             

 FINALLY December 1st! We finally get to open the first door on our Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar that Elfie brought us! Hooray! 

                               

                              

And we found Elfie eating up all the left over donuts! He's a sneaky little elf getting into mischief!

                              

I made an awesome track today with our soft tracks. It's funny what toys you rediscover when your mother cleans out your entire play room...

                              

                                 

Later when it get dark Mama and Daddy got us all in the car and we headed for Merriweather for the Symphony of Lights! 

                                

It was so cool and we couldn't believe it but you actually drive THROUGH the pavilion! We thought we were going the wrong way. It was so neat to drive where people sit that come to see shows!

                              

                               

                             

It was so pretty looking at all of the beautiful light displays and it was pretty empty of other cars. Just one or two other than us!

                             

And afterward we got to get milkshakes from Chick Fil A on the way home! It was a perfect night! We're really starting to get into the spirit!
