Lost in the mix

When I woke up this morning, very early thanks to my little girl, came downstairs and something silly caught my eye. THIS:
In the midst of all of the Little People christmas sets, there was baby Jesus. Right in the middle, reminding me what advent is really all about.
Funny, how that happens! How I catch myself being reminded in some unlikely spots. God has a sense of humor.
We have special plans for this evening. We will be heading to Williamsport to see Summer Street aka Christmas Candy Lane, a whole street of houses that celebrate the holidays by decorating every year. Nobody bows out( I dont think that they can, I think it is part of their convenance as home owners). I can remember it being there as long as, well as long as I can remember.
That will be our family activity. Aunt Jen will be coming along and Mom Mom.
We had leftover red and Green Pancakes this morning. I guess I will be putting food coloring into pancakes for quite a few years now. They still tasted as good as they did yesterday.
We opened day 2 of our advent tree and inside was a fingerpupppet snowman. Audrey took him over and introduced him to the Little People.
.
Then, we read Rudolph to the Rescue.
. They should have stopped with Rudolph Book....this one was weird. LOL...yep I said it!
We sang Silent Night as our song this morning.
Then,
I dressed Audrey up in her Snowflake best and we decided to take some time to write our names and santa's name on the cold front door.
Our scripture this morning was actually part of my devotional Girlfriends in God.
Psalm 96: Sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Sing to the LORD, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
In the midst of your crazy day, think of that picture and stop and give thanks for God's sense of humor.
Happy 2nd day of Advent!
