Signs of Christmas!

We got the advent candle ring out last year (it was a gift last year and new to us), but admittedly didn't participate probably because dinner was too crazy each night to actually sit down all at the same time, light the candles and say a prayer. We have been better this year and have it all set for each night. This advent candle ring came from Granny and Papi, they bought it for us on a trip to either Peru or Costa Rica, Julio can't remember.
I finally got back into the habit of forcing some paperwhite bulbs this year. Cheryl, you would be proud of me! I think Gabriel was too much of a handful last year! We have enjoyed watching them grow throughout the month of December! They smell so wonderful!
The countdown to Christmas advent calendar that is hanging in the playroom.
Wrapped up cornmeal pecan biscuits all ready for the neighborhood ladies group annual Christmas cookie exchange! I came home with more than 50 cookies in exchange! Yikes, don't really want to look at another baked good for a while. :) Fun stuff though!
