Let Advent Begin!

Last year's tree--

My class is finished! My final project is submitted! Now, I can think about Advent and the upcoming Christmas season. Yayyyyy!

It will begin today by making a pot of soup, attending the Christmas parade in Saline and Kaleigh's early birthday party. Tom is finishing up the Christ Our King float which will be in the parade. I will try to post pictures after the event. The last couple of years this was a very long parade. We found out that our float is third to last. I guess I'll have to get out my nice warm puffy coat.

Yet to do: Christmas cards (I haven't even bought them.), decorate (I can't rush these things.), work on some Christmas present projects (shhh! It's a secret!)and keep on reflecting on "the reason for the season."
