We are a bit late on our post from his last week, but that's just because we've been having so much fun! We made it to two different museums as a family making it feel like a mini-vacation for us even though for the most part it's been a normal week for us.
The Advent calendar continues to be a highlight of the day. Even Button gets super excited when we say the words "Advent calendar." He will run from the other side of the house over to the calendar and point and grunt until we get it down. I'd like to say that he really enjoys our daily Bible readings that we have in it, but in reality I'm sure the M&Ms are the bigger draw. ;-) Little Buddy, on the other hand, can't wait to get his green M&M (green is his favorite color), but he also looks forward to our reading time.
One special part of this week was our trip to the Children's Museum. Phil took a half day off so we could do this as part of Little Buddy's special birthday time. We had a great time. Buddy especially liked "cooking" in the Mexican restaurant kitchen and bringing us plates of beans and rice.
On Saturday, we spontaneously decided to go to the Museum of Flight since I have a membership there that I've barely used. We had a fabulous time looking at all the airplanes, getting in some fighter planes, hanging out in the Flight Zone kids area, and just generally having fun.

Other highlights of the week:
Playing in our indoor "snow". Cotton ball snowball fights are the best!
Playing with Lincoln logs
And lots and lots of reading time
We also enjoyed doing our Advent wreath again on Sunday. We've been inviting our neighbor over for that, and the boys have really enjoyed having him over. This is such a great season for sharing traditions! Only a little over a week until Advent becomes Christmas!!!
