Christmas Blessings

We have been blessed to have a wonderfully full holiday season! Here's a little bit of where we've been since pre-Thanksgiving:

*Cutting down our first tree with friends
*Hosting the Bucks (parents, sister, grandparents) and the Huffords (parents) for Thanksgiving amidst the stomach bug running through our families
*First day of December decorating the tree
*Celebrating the first Sunday of Advent with candles
*Riding the Holiday Train (schedule Holiday CTA Train)
*Quickly grabbing bratwurst, potato pancakes, and apple strudel at the Christkindl Market (since it felt like 10* outside!)
*Polar Express watching and then a reading over at Barnes and Noble by a "real" conductor
*Drive Thru holiday lights over in Valpo! Perfect for being in the car!
*Annual holiday dinner and tree decorating at the Huffords with family friends
*Hosting first (but hopefully annual) Christmas cookie decorating party with new friends

So many of these are spontaneous decisions which is not always my typical, but I'm thinking spontaneity is great!!
