December first marked the beginning of opening the advent calendar which is this awesome cabin filled with little clay sculptures that Aunt Emily made for each day of the month. They are so fantastic and Kiefer is so excited each morning to open the next one.
The first day started with Mary, isn't she great!

Yay! It's getting closer to Christmas and all of the wonderful things that come with it.
Cooper looks like he's about to jump into a 1950s fighter plane with that jacket on.
And HURRAY for getting the star on top of the tree. I can't wait to see your handiwork Keifer!
I think you said your sister made the clay figurines. Wow, she did an awesome job! This is the first time I've seen your blog! Great pics! Our blog is thesmithz.blogspot.com.
