This morning GG and I awoke to:
"Mommy, Daddy, can I open box #3... Pllleeeaasse?!"
The boys scampered out of their room and down the stairs to the kitchen table. There sits our newest Advent tradition, a gift from T's godparents, Aunt Kat and Uncle E. We constructed the pop-up manger scene on Sunday and started with Box #1 containing the Angel Gabriel and a poem about him. Box #2 yesterday held dear Mary. And today, much to our expectation, M opened Box #3 to find Joseph. There are 7 boxes in all and T is already figuring out how he can finagle the ordering to make sure he gets to open the final box. What a stinker!
All I know is that this little box containing more boxes of joy has already brought much Advent anticipation into our home. Just what we needed... Thanks Aunt Kat and Uncle E!!
T, filled with joy, but showing a very serious Advent face.
True Advent joy from the peanut gallery of Papa and J!
