This Advent is not like any other. Well, that’s not true. This year is almost like 2012 when we lost Colin’s Mom. I just can’t seem to be bothered. It doesn’t help that Ella’s having a hard time too. Even Merry hasn’t been getting into any trouble. Last week we headed out for our tree to our favourite place.
Ella was not a happy camper. She refused to take off her mask for the picture. I’m worried I’m never going to get her out of the house again when this is all over. Ella found us a really nice Frasier fir, as usual the first one she pointed out was the best one.
Finally got a happy Ella because Daddy finally found…
The BUNNIES!!!!! We couldn’t snuggle them this year, but Ella’s tall enough she could reach and pet them. That made for a much happier girl.
And of course, Ella did a beautiful job decorating. I literally did nothing to the tree this year (besides bring the boxes down from storage). Colin does the lights and garland and Ella does the rest.
Ella and I started our Christmas baking today. We made a pile of sugar cookies. I have the dough ready for shortbread, gingerbread, and pecan hedgehogs. She wants to send a package to one of her online friends so we have to get moving.
