Preparing for Advent and Thanksgiving

Sooo... I. Love. Advent.
Because of this, the week leading up to Thanksgiving consisted not only of lots of baking.
It also consisted of my annual Advent preparations.
Last year I added a lot of new traditions, which we loved.
However, each new tradition added a few more minutes to my to-do lists every day.
So, I pared down on Advent traditions this year.
It did take a solid two days to make a good plan, but I finally felt ready for the season to start.

Here is a view of my "Advent stuff" waiting to be sorted through.

And here is some of it at the "almost ready" point of my preparations.

We decided that Princess also needed to be prepared for Advent.
She was getting a little bit stinky.
All the kids (minus Hector) got in on the dog washing.
It was about 40 degrees out, and Princess was a very good sport.





Here are some of our edible preparations T and I made for Thanksgiving.


And finally, David and I did something VERY important the day before Thanksgiving.
We had a "Mom Time" together at the local thrift shop and found him a new pair of shoes!
Good-bye worn out water shoes!


Hello "new" shoes!

Love, Us.
