Days Seven and Eight

Now... time to catch you up on the Advent Calendar:

Day Seven:  The Lightner family LOVES reading and books, so day seven had a great activity for us.  We were told to read one of the Christmas stories together as a family.  All five of us snuggled together in the girls room before bed and read one of the Christmas stories -- not one about Santa or elves or deer.  We are talking about the REAL Christmas story.  Hannah loves to find baby Jesus in the pictures and Grace is helpful telling the story. It was a great time as a family... I didn't want to ruin the moment with my camera... sorry!

Day Eight:  Chocolate!  HOT CHOCOLATE!  Yummy! After eating a good lunch, I made the girls their own mug of hot chocolate!  YUMMY!  I call it HOT chocolate but it was more like luke warm chocolate so they could drink it and not get burned!  They each got a mug of heaven and Grace drank it in record time.  She asked for more, but I wouldn't let her (Nanna would have let her, though!).  :)  Hannah kept calling it "coffee"....like the coffee she makes and drinks with Danny.  They felt SOOO grown up!  :)
