Tradition!

Does the title of this post make you want to engage in some choreographed singing?

If it does, you (like my Mommy) have watched too many old musicals!

Please refrain from attempting to fiddle on any rooftops, ok? :)

Anyway, tonight we started our Advent Traditions.

And what Christmas tradition isn't made better by cookies?

So, we had some cookies and milk while we lit the first candle of Advent.

Well, to be honest I was only allowed a tiny taste of the cookies -- but they were good!

So, here is our home-away-from-home advent wreath

with Russian tea glasses for candle holders.

My parents get bonus points for resourcefulness, don't you think?

I, personally, thought the candles were very cool!

I just couldn't get Mommy to let me get any closer!

Also, I was very happy that we sang Christmas carols.

Well, actually my parents sang them and I smiled and clapped.

Maybe next year I'll have the words down!
