I’m so happy to finally have Advent here. I plan to write later on how we plan to keep Advent in our home this year.

Keeping the traditional Advent calendar we use as well as these chocolate calendars we were excited to receive from some of our church members.

I remember getting one of these for several years when I was little living in Germany. I loved opening the doors and finding a chocolate every day until Christmas Eve.

Since we didn’t get a chance to eat the meal we were given on Thanksgiving we decided to wait to enjoy our turkey when my mom got here and have a feast with her. But when it came time to feast I was feeling very much over Thanksgiving so we went with an Advent feast instead. Maybe not liturgically appropriate, but fun anyway!

    And I even have the ORNAMENTS THIS YEAR! Now if we can remember to use them during Bible time.

    Lily will be thrilled you noticed. That girl. 😀
