- Hello ~ how's your Advent going? We are doing well here and finding a good rhythm I think. The kids rotate lighting the candles, reading the prayer and then blowing out the candles. Caitlin repeats after me but Liam is becoming more and more independent in his reading which is so exciting to watch.
- We had our first snowfall of the year last weekend of which an inch or so has stuck around which definitely gives the neighborhood that holiday feel; as does getting our Christmas tree. No ornaments were broken in the trimming and I only had to bite my lips or sit on my hands a bit. AKA you never realize how much of a control freak you can be until you have to let your young kids trim the tree.
- We left our shoes out for Saint Nicholas and ate chili on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadeloupe. Next week both schools have Christmas programs. Such a busy time but hopefully finding a good balance.
- As I finish up my last couple books for the year and start to think about what is topping my 'want to read' list for the new year I was excited to see Modern Mrs Darcy post her challenge list for 2018. I'm still leaning towards 'off roading' next year but will definitely keep track of the different categories in case I get in a rut.
- The Crown; watched and really enjoyed the new season. Which makes the knowledge that many of the principle actors are done rather bittersweet. I understand and even like the idea of recasting every two seasons rather than continuing to age the actors but am sad to see Claire Foy and Matt Smith go.
- I have nearly half of our Christmas cards mailed and so feel like I can enjoy those we are receiving. I didn't write a letter this year but was tempted to include the kids ages on the photo card though with Caitlin having a January birthday wasn't sure what age to put.
- Have a wonderful weekend!
Please head over to Kelly's for more 7QT's!
