It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas

We spent the 3rd weekend of Advent preparing the apartment for Christmas and the arrival of baby Jesus.  Mary Grace ooo'ed and ahh'ed as we put up the lights and decorated the tree.

I would like to take this time to thank my dad for always putting the lights on the tree.  It never seemed like a really difficult job, but wow!  It is not fun!  The lights got the best of me a few times, but after 2 failed attempts, I finally got it.  

 Mary Grace's little nativity she got for her baptism.

And, it's our first year to hide the pickle!!  Can you find it??

Happy Third Week of Advent!!
