Setting up the tree, etc.

The Saturday before the first Sunday in Advent, we always set up our tree. Now 8 days ago, here are some pictures from then:

















Our delicious snacky spread, complete with Wassail!

















Anastasia enjoying her food. Especially the olives.













Our little table with the Advent wreath and calendar. (Thanks to Aunt Pari & Uncle Trevor for the calendar, which we've been using for what, 3 years now?) And yes, the candles are already used. I mean to find some new ones but haven't gotten around to it.

















The tree!

















After dinner, enjoying some ice cream.

















She was just so cute, we had to get a lot of pictures of it.


















































And I wonder why Forrest doesn't take more pictures of me, when I do this to him when he does try!































































We watched a Christmas movie too...and only the best one ever!
