There’s always a day, each year, when I realize how close Christmas is and I suddenly get excited about all the things that come along with it.

Today was that day. The bus driver gave Bea this funny little angel. He said something that I couldn’t understand and then placed it on the seat next to Bea. It looks like it’s made from a small empty cream container. 

When we got home from running errands I felt inspired to put up some of our Christmas decorations. Bea was excited to hang paper hearts on all the doors and cupboards.

This is the only tree we will be having around this year. But that’s OK. 

I’ve been working on Christmas cards little by little.

The stores are full of pretty chocolates and cookies and the gray sky looks like it could give us our first snow any minute. So bring on the holidays we are ready!
