I think Laura likes her Advent Calendar books. It is only the second day, and she has already finished the first book and is 80 pages into the second.
Book Advent Calendar – Day 1
Laura opened Day 1 of her Advent Calendar.
I have had a lot of fun planning and buying books over the course of 2025. By the time she finishes opening all 24, she will have a nice assortment of books to choose from. Up first was a book by Ben Hubbard titled, “Poison: The History of Potions, Powders and Murderous Practitioners”.
Enjoy reading, Red!
Back to College
While I worked on Christmas decorations,…
…Andy took Laura back to Cape Girardeau where they got to enjoy the Holiday Parade of Lights.
Bedding
After the Blumes leave, I wash bedding. I wash a lot of bedding. The time with family is worth it, but it is still a lot of bedding.
Family
We spent the day hanging out, watching football, and just being together.
We talked a lot, and we laughed a lot.
We shared good drinks and pizza from Shakespeare’s.
Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to the South Carolina Blumes early because the weather does not look promising for tomorrow. However, the highlight of Thanksgiving was getting to know the newest member of the Blume family, Ava. She is about the cutest thing ever!
It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is already over.
Thanksgiving
There is never a dull moment when the Blume Family is here. We spent the day doing all the things, but also just spending time together.
Of course, we took family pictures, and the kids did their traditional silly picture. I think this one wins the day!
Kristena also managed to get a great picture of Andy and I…
…and our kids.
After pictures, we ate. We ate a lot. We ate a lot a lot.
It was a great day spent with family. Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!
Pies
You know it is the day before Thanksgiving when a Pumpkin Pie and an Apple Pie appear on the counter at the Kassel Castle!
