Surprise, secret, and present

We were all super busy this weekend :
Zorro is super busy.

  • We prepared greeting cards, because we have to send them at the end of November for the USA and at the beginning of December for Europe if we want to be sure,sure,sure, that they arrive BEFORE Christmas.
  • We packed the present for our friend of Secret Paws : you would like to know who is going to receive this beautiful package, hmmm ? Well, er, you won’t know ! Surprise …
  • Momo set up the fixations for exterior decorations.
  • Claire prepared mini-Christmas Cakes which she usually offers as little gift.
  • Finally, she went on Sunday to her course about cat feeding throughout the day, but we’ll tell you about it later, because while she was away, we prepared you a surprise.

Don’t miss our Friday’s post : an adorable gift is waiting for you, for cat AND for dog !

First Advent Sunday

avent-2016-detail
We love this period : Christmas is coming little by little. The wait is given rhythm by the candle we light on every Sunday on the wreath, by the pastry made of sweet leavened dough in the form of a man we eat on December 6th (St Nicholas Day), by the Christmas carols Claire teaches to the children, by the decorations that appear almost everywhere, and by the night-illuminations.

As every year, Claire made herself an Advent wreath : we shall light the first candle on Sunday.
