Thursday, First Week of Advent

Another beautiful day.

The kids spent most of the day outside.

We played UNO.  I used to always be able to win, but my boy is getting good.  He beat me by a landslide twice today.


Hot chocolate and pistolettes, a new favorite.  A sweet book that reminded us of what's really important.  This intentional morning "tea time" was exactly what we needed. (The first picture shows her chunking wrapping paper behind her.)

Mass is always sweeter when the daddy can come with us.

Our Advent spiral began today...lighting one candle a day to journey with Mary to Bethlehem. (As a side note, Phil is quite concerned that we will have a blazing inferno once Christmas arrives and all those candles are lit!)

Annelise got to go first to open the door on the Advent calendar.


And to document proof of her post-bath curls:
