Advent - Trying New Things


As much as I love Advent traditions, trying new things is good for us, too! This year, Aaron sang in a musical theater production of Dickens' "Christmas Carol" as Scrooge's nephew, Fred. He hasn't done anything like this since before we had kids!


Katherine and I attended a Christmas party full of kids on the second night of Aaron's performances. The whole party walked downtown to view the Christmas parade, so she and I broke away from the group for a few minutes to pop in and say hi before the musical began.


We rejoined the group to take pictures in front of downtown's huge Christmas tree.


Instead of the same boring, flannel, plaid pajamas, Katherine requested a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer onsie. So when Colossians 3:12 showed up on the Advent tag, a bright and fuzzy onesie is what she found. 


Something else new for this year? Being invited to a youth orchestra Christmas party at the "Home Alone House" (which happens to be where the harpist lives!). Such a sweet family. Getting to know them a little bit better brought us much joy!
