advent

For most people the countdown to Christmas begins December 1st. For my husband it's starts around July 5th and I have to plead with him to wait at least until November to start listening to Christmas music.

So for the rest of us, Mibo has these adorable and most importantly free advent calendars to start your countdown to Christmas. You do have to print them out and construct them yourself, (which I will probably never get around to, but one can dream.) But it doesn't seem to be to difficult. enjoy.

We love this little guy, I am not sure what we did for entertainment before he was born. Now we just stare at him all the time! Hudson is quite the nocturnal creature (any advice on how to make him sleep through the night from you mom's would be more than welcome.) It's been hard to get some pictures of him awake. I am so glad he finally decided to ham it up for the camera!

I need a word
a brand new word
nobody ever heard
I need a word
that can express
you are the dearest
on the earth.
