first week of advent

 ..















The Festival of Stones. St. Nicholas came. Three oranges this year!

Maybe next year I will remember to re-post my advent calendar tutorial in time.

(If I wait for good light and unblurry pictures then blog posts will never happen.)

Our advent angel shows us how many days until Christmas, but that still leaves lots of asking... "How many days till St. Nicholas comes." "When is St. Lucia's day?" "When is Three Kings Day?"

So our Winter Festival Days Calendar should help with that...

Oh Renee, I love that little baby shoe next to the big girls' boots! And then, even more- I love the little baby feet I see further down! How sweet she is.

Dear Renee,
Thank you so much for your visit and comment. I'm so touched by your advent post, your little one holding that big orange, and the little schoe.
I love this time of the year, full of love and lights in the dark.

Thanks for all the festival celebrations, with a 2 year old we've really been struggling with how to approach the holidays.
