Laura is home for Winter break, so we finished decorating our Christmas tree.
John even helped to hang a few of his ornaments.
It really feels like Christmastime now. Our Christmas Tree is complete!

Things To Do
It was a busy Saturday with John working at Hickman High School for the All-State Band Competition, and Andy riding in Cranktivus, the best food drive on two wheels!
It was a record-setting year, and the Central Missouri Food Bank is the recipient of a lot of food and monetary donations!
What did I do, you ask? Well, I was not feeling well today, so I stayed home and did easy things. First, I worked on the 2026 family calendar that I always give to the grandparents.
Then, I made a batch of soap for my co-worker gifts. This one is an oatmeal soap base scented with Lavender, Peppermint, and Tea Tree.
Finally, I stuffed, addressed, and stamped our Christmas cards. They will be in the mail on Monday!
Family Photos
Our new family photos from Thanksgiving are officially on the wall in the Kassel Castle living room.
Crazy Christmas Hat

Books
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.
