See Kristen find the Christmas spirit...

See Kristen.

See Kristen wish she didn't sound like such a Grinch in her last post.
See Kristen admit that she likes Christmas music. It was just too early to hear carols on the radio for her that day and she was not ready to decorate a tree yet.
Tired, tired Kristen.

See Kristen hear from friends that she needs to find the Christmas spirit.
See Kristen feel sorry that she made people feel unhappy and like she was squelching their Christmas fun.
Sad, sad Kristen.

See Kristen realize that she's been practicing for the Ozark Mormon Chorale's big Christmas concerts since the first rehearsal on October 17.
Kristen loves to sing Christmas carols.
Silly, silly alto!



See Kristen at the Bentonville Lighting of the Square. She is listening to her daughters sing in the Bentonville Childrens' Choir as they perform for hundreds of people.

See Kristen join in the sing-a-long of Christmas carols.


See Kristen wearing a Santa hat at the square!
Silly, silly Kristen.

See Kristen listen to her two daughters practice their songs for their Christmas piano recital...over and over again.
See Kristen pull out Christmas music and play some herself.
Forgetful, forgetful Kristen!


See Kristen teach a scrapbook class in which the project she designed 6 weeks ago is a Santa Countdown Box.
See Kristen talk to her customers about Christmas traditions.
Happy scrappy Kristen.



See Kristen drive a carful of 12-14-year-old girls to a church activity last night, while they're singing along to a Christmas CD at the top of their lungs.
See Kristen laugh.
Funny, funny girls. Kristen loves these squirrelly young women!

See Kristen find the holiday spirit.
Merry, merry Kristen!

oh and that advent box is SO SO CUTE! I want one! Where did you get the box with all the drawers? hardware store?

Kristen said...

The box is made by Karen Foster. It's white, made of slick-finished cardboard, and it's darling! The whole things is about 10 inches square. You can put candies, notes, small ornaments, or anything you want in the drawers. I do have extra kits available at the store if you want one! (They are $38, which includes all the supplies and directions, and they're really easy to put together in just a couple of hours.)

Hi Kristin,

I am so happy you sent me your blog this morning. It has been great catching up on your lives. I miss you all. And, as far as Christmas goes, I belong to the not until after Thanksgiving crowd. I love Thanksgiving! Happy Thanksgiving!
