Advent Calendar: Days 5-7

Yes we are continuing with our advent days here in the Goodlin household.  Having something fun to do each day with the girl is helping me to get through a tough week, I am just missing and thinking of my sister a lot as the year anniversary of her death approaches.....I miss her so much.

So for day #5: Make Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows

  2. I'm exhausted just reading this! You've inspired me! As for Christmas traditions: my favorite growing up was going to New life's Christmas Eve service, driving around to see Christmas lights and then going home to make & eat homemade pizza. Then we'd sit round the tree, read the Christmas story, open 1 present from a sibling & go off to bed. Can't wait 'til my babies are old enough to tart some of these up.
