Scavenger Hunt Sunday: December 11, 2011


Scavenger Hunt Sunday items: Less is More, Holiday Lights, Ornaments, Cup of Cheer and Nativity

Less is More

I wasn't exactly sure to do with this one. Then I decided a tree with less leaves was showing more branches.

 Holiday Lights

This house in a nearby town has it set up so their lights are in sync with the music from a local radio station from 5pm to 10pm. It is actually quite beautiful. Unfortunately, my camera batteries were not charged sufficiently to get a video.

 Ornaments
We went Christmas caroling last night at a nursing home and these huge ornaments hung from the ceiling. I thought they were cool.

Cup of Cheer
This is a mug my daughter got to give her friend for Christmas. I assume it will bring her friend some Christmas cheer.

 Nativity
Umm...well, my nativity is still in the box. We will be getting it out, probably this week, because we put up a piece or two at a time when we read the Christmas story.  I was hoping to find a outdoor scene to photograph, but no luck. 
Here is our nativity that I shared last week though:



Happily Mother After
And my favorite shots of the week show Hannah opening the Christmas book on her day of the countdown til Christmas. I just love the look of anticipation:


Opening the present:


And the first thing she did was open the book and "read" it.


Then we had a special time reading it.

  3. I almost used a bare tree - there limbs are so much more dramatic without leaves. :)
    Sweet look on your little one's face.
    My granddaughters love books. A wonderful start to be reading so young.
