This is the first Sunday of Advent, the season of waiting.

“‘Behold, days are coming,’ declares the LORD, ‘when I will fulfill the good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah. In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch of David to spring forth; and He shall execute justice and righteousness on the earth.”

The perfect tree 🎄
.
It is a running joke in our family that we have to be the first ones at the Christmas tree farm the day after Thanksgiving 🎄
.
We were in the truck by 8 am, a quick drive thru for donuts 🍩, and arriving 12 minutes before opening and we weren’t first ☺️
.
We still managed to park in the closest lot and picked the perfect tree 🌲
.
Then the trip home we reminisce about family memories from cutting trees in Wisconsin with lots of snow ❄️

The girls are already up and asking to go sledding today.

The first snow day is one of our simple celebrations this winter ☃️

Advent begins Sunday, November 29th🕯
.
I added these two books to our Advent read alouds 📚 We read Tabitha Travels in this series and it reads like an adventure story. Each chapter ends with a cliff hanger so the girls always wanted to hear just one more chapter.
.
This year I decided to purchase two books since I anticipate reading more than one chapter each day.
.
It is so hard to wait until after Thanksgiving to pull out all of our Christmas fun 🎄but so far planning meaningful activities has kept us satisfied.
