Legos + Nativity = Excellent Advent Celebration

Thanks to "Moe" (Oklahoma grandma), we have this awesome playmobil nativity set. Every night this month we have read a part of the Christmas story together, each night the story gets a little longer, bringing in a new character or piece of the story. So every night, we re-read the previous portion and add a new sentence and a new Lego that comes out of a little bag with that night's number on it. Noah loves this because he gets a new toy each night and he is learning the story well enough to fill in the blanks for us as we read. I've also overheard him playing pretend with various toys saying things like, "Come on, Buzz Lightyear! Lets go find that baby!" I wouldn't say things are too clear yet, but we are hopeful. My main concern lies in our ability to teach more than his to learn. :)

I also included a pic of Eva after our advent time. I think she was sad that she slept through it tonight.
