All Things Supercinski

One of the highlights of this Christmas season for us was doing an advent reading every night after dinner. Josiah absorbed so much of the Christmas story, and it helped keep the perspective on our “birthday party celebrating Jesus.” We used the readings from Noel Piper’s advent calendar (thanks to Christine and Megan) and used this calendar to build on the Christmas story.

We had a wonderful Christmas, and have loved all the time together as a family. We have not gotten to see Thomas’ parents yet, but we will soon. My mom, Woody, brother, sister-in-law, sister and sister’s boyfriend all came to our house for Christmas day. I was happy to host everyone, and even happier that we didn’t have to travel.

Josiah and His Merry Band play some music while we wait for my sister to arrive.

Somehow Aunt Amanda’s jewelry went unscathed by Annalise’s death grip.

Remember how we said we were making most of our Christmas gifts this year? I made these cute (if I can say so myself) aprons being modeled by my super cute mother and sister-in-law.  I can’t wait to make one for myself! I used the halter top apron from Sew, Mama, Sew.

Speaking of homemade gifts, Josiah is really enjoying all of that felt food that I made. Thank goodness! He likes it so much, I’m thinking we should get him some sort of kitchen for his birthday.

It was the year of the costume–here he models his train conductor costume from my mom and Woody. He loves the tickets, watch and walkie talkie that came with it.

And Dr. Josiah examines his first patient with his little doctor kit. He pretends to be Dr. L, my chiropractor, all the time using his toolset (screwdriver and hammer), so now he has more tools in his bag of tricks.
