Menu Plan–Dec. 1

Happy Advent!  Although Thanksgiving & Christmas are close together this year, I am loving it.  There’s nothing like gratitude and Thanksgiving to get your advent season off to a wonderful start. 

We had such a fun long weekend.  Thursday, of course, we celebrated with our favorite Thanksgiving foods

Friday, we decorated our house for Christmas!

And, Saturday, my mom, sister & I baked from 9:30am until 7pm!  It was a blast.  Christmas music on… assembly line down and much laughter and good food.  

We have all of our baking done for the season (sans a 1-2 treats we’ll make closer to Christmas); we were so productive, and my freezer is full. 

We wrapped up our weekend by hanging our outdoor Christmas lights, and reading about the first week of advent – our Hope. 

This coming week, we’re planning to eat pretty easy meals around here:
