On the second day of Christmas...

...I and Andrzej celebrated our Twenty First wedding anniversary. I hope that we will be blessed with twice as many years together still!

We did not get away for an overnight trip. It should come in a couple years.

I feel lucky to have Kateri old enough to babysit for a couple hours. We were able to have a date evening !

But during the day was all family, and since we had promised Zuzanna to visit Bass Pro Shop, we took a trip "up north".
Well I have to say , that I did not know that this place is so much fun and does not require shopping.
On the other hand one might suddenly develop a need for some hunting/winter camping/ice fishing experience !
We did not do that, but instead enjoyed a walk in cranberry fields right behind the store.
It was very refreshing and lovely .

St. Lucia Day 2014

Due to a broken oven door, for the first time ever we had to rely on bought (sic!) buns for breakfast.
On the other hand, it did not make much difference.
After a later delivery, the new functioning oven is in process of baking St. Lucia Wreath for tomorrow breakfast. Who says we can't do it twice ???

Our Advent so far...

 ...is going rather smoothly :

 
Jesse Tree keeps getting ornaments .
 

 
Sometimes the packaging is more interesting than its contents :)
 
 
I just caught one happy camper on St. Nicholas Day morning !
 


 
The same day, gifts from babcia :)
 
 
Cold and shaky evening sky.
 
 
Two candles for second Sunday of Advent.
 

 
Celebrating St. Nicholas Day !
 
Keep your Advent blessed,
 
Kinga :)

December, is that you?



 

Well, I just might enjoy this warm weather forever.
Even though it means raking the leaves.
The work in the garden is quite therapeutic, as I have mentioned once.
