It's been busy in our household today. Mum has been slaving away making the pork pie for Christmas breakfast - my favourite part!
1 - Is there anything more Christmassy than the smell of candles?
2 - Some delicious soup (pre made by Judith). Mum has been working her socks off in the kitchen, and having soup to reheat is great for busy days!
3 - Our wonky Advent candle wreath! Alongside our Advent candle. Don't worry - the candles aren't as close to the curtain as they appear!
4 & 5 - With five people in the house, how do you know who's going to open the Advent calendars every day? We draw names from the proverbial hat... it's the 10th today, so only one name left before they all go back in again.
6 & 7 - There is something especially exciting about December calendars, but also poignant as it provides an opportunity to reflect on the past year... And if they are lovely landscapes or cute Sprockers, that's even better!
8 - The Pork Pie is in the process of being made (eeek! exciting!) so the puppies had to have their Advent Calendar in a different space so Mum could see from the kitchen. As you can see, this excitement was too much for little Jess, while Orlando just sat and waited.
9 & 10 - And the night was rounded off with a highly competitive Santa race... there were cries of "cheat!" and it went down to the best of three!
...Clemency's Santa won in the end!
