First week Advent

Our Advent wreath is a simple brass circle so we cut pine from the back yard to decorate it. Okay, I'll confess, the pine tree actually belongs to our neighbor, but it hangs over the fence and they don't seem to mind...


Sunday we had a full turkey dinner with some wonderful company. After dinner we planted an amaryllis bulb. I have a bit of a black thumb, so I hope it will actually bloom.


On Tuesday we made pomanders. Christopher liked smelling the cloves.


Later in the week we are making chocolate dipped spoons for hot chocolate, and we'll be getting ready for St. Nicholas to come on the eve of his feast day.
