The 1st Sunday of Advent

Today is when the Advent season officially begins. The children can start putting the felt nativity characters on the advent calendar. Actually they should have started yesterday, but I'm not sure they remembered. Last night my sister, Bianca, and her husband came over and watched the children for us so Tartan and I could go to his organization's Christmas party. ExxonMobil is obviously a huge company, so separate entities within it organize their own festivities. On Tuesday, his group is having a family lunch.

Our dishwasher died again: the evening before Thanksgiving. Fortunately, it was only our own immediate family having Thanksgiving dinner- but we still generated a fair amount of dirty dishes. It seems a fuse went out and it should be running again on Tuesday. The kids have been getting a lot of practice in washing dishes by hand. :)

We wish you all a peaceful, joyful, and blessed Christmas season!

Remembering that Jesus is the reason for the season,
Naomi for the Colliers
