Time To Light The Last Candle

Yes. Believe it or not, we are entering the last week of Advent. Tonight we attended Mass, and then rode around looking at Christmas Lights while delivering gifts to some special people in our lives. Tomorrow is our annual Family Baking Day. And then we will be done. Done shopping, wrapping, baking, and preparing. This week we will relax. We will listen to Christmas music, watch Christmas movies, snuggle on the couch and look at the tree. And we will wait. Wait for the most special day of the year. And wait for the Baby Jesus. Because that is what all of this is really about. : ) Have a cozy, blessed week, my friends! Enjoy!

    It has gone by so fast. Glad all is ready at your house, and you and family can relax, anticipate, and be together.

    Love it! We are prepping some of the dough tonight (the ones that need to chill) to make it more fun for little people. :) Happy baking day! Love that all 4 candles are lit. It's magical.

    When I was a little one, it seemed like it took FOREVER for for the pink one to come around. When the fourth one was lit, I was like...whew! things really started to get exciting :)

    Oh, that I could get it all to wrap up the way you do. I plan and prepare and think ahead and somehow I'm always still scrambling around this last week. You've inspired me to try to be still more often this week and wait for baby Jesus. I love that plan. ❤️
