We’re already wrapped up in the Christmas Spirit.\u00a0 Our house is decorated the tree is up.\u00a0 The boys have their Christmas train running around their winter village.\u00a0 Alexander’s school nook has been transformed into a Cradle Roll Nativity Sabbath School.\u00a0 Today’s Advent Calendar Card was their Snowman Sheets card<\/em>– so they are wrapped in warm snowy flannel at night.\u00a0 They are just counting down the days now, and reveling in the charms of the season.\u00a0 Today, Alexander didn’t have school so we took the afternoon off to a favorite stop, The Henry Ford.\u00a0 Three boys were super excited and we headed straight back to the trains, with a photo stop first at the tree, of course.\u00a0 We found that their model train was in its Christmas dressing, and the Lego City was back in town.\u00a0 Aidan loved finding Lego vehicles and pieces that we have at home in the town.\u00a0 Alex was pointing out places he recognized from last year or around Greenfield Village.\u00a0 Lucas was just watching- relatively unamused.\u00a0 But the highlight of the day was a display that had tubes, pipings, and other parts that you could build a marble run along the wall with sticks and tape.\u00a0 Alex jumped right in enthusiastically winding pipes and pieces in a down-the-wall maze.\u00a0 Aidan got into the mix slowly but soon warmed up to the creations and had quite the contraption twisting down the wall.\u00a0 Both boys were eagerly changing and improving their runs which twisted around each other.\u00a0 They were so happy and\u00a0 working together to watch their marbles make it down the maze.\u00a0 Lucas was thrilled just to keep going and bringing more parts.\u00a0 “Me go get something alsh?”\u00a0 He kept asking until we had a pile of parts at our feet.\u00a0 (It was Muma’s job to give them to the boys or return them to the table.)\u00a0 Then Lukie got the idea that the little pipes were his nose.\u00a0 “Why me nose keep growing and growing, Mama?”\u00a0 His little voice is so cute.\u00a0 He would trade nose for nose and ask each of us about his nose whenever he had a new one.\u00a0 It really was a fun afternoon.\u00a0 A bit of a rushed evening as we stayed longer than expected.\u00a0 We had to throw in a hot dog mix at the end.\u00a0 Each boy taking turns to be a hot dog and getting eaten by the rest of us.\u00a0 So Lukie and Aidan fell asleep in the car and transferred to the couch.\u00a0 Muma cooked supper and got the boys to wake up by letting them watch a Chuggington and eat supper on the couch before darting off to gymnastics for the evening.\u00a0 A good holiday start to the month of December.\u00a0 Love these boys.<\/p>\n We’re already wrapped up in the Christmas Spirit.\u00a0 Our house is decorated the tree is up.\u00a0 The boys have their Christmas train running around their winter village.\u00a0 Alexander’s school nook has been transformed into a Cradle Roll Nativity Sabbath School.\u00a0 Today’s Advent Calendar Card was their Snowman Sheets card– Continue Reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2265,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2569"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2569"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2569\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2575,"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2569\/revisions\/2575"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"12-1-2014](\"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/12-1-2014-Henry-Ford-17-225x300.jpg\")
