Last Tuesday we attended circle time at kinderhaus,
and afterwards we helped Tiffeni make decorations for her store.
Here's K making candy garlands and clove decorated tangerines:
Back at home I set up our 'advent' spiral counting down the days until the 1st day of winter (December 21st). This is when we have our big celebration bake cookies,decorate for the season ect but this year we will be leaving that night to go up north so I am still trying to figure out how we will work it.

Lastly, for baking day today we decided to make doughnuts. Yeah they are un-healthy and deep fried but I figure junk like this is ok every once in a blue moon. we made glazed,powdered sugar and cinnamon/sugar ones. They were super yummy. I got the recipe from here:

I've been looking for a doughnut recipe to make with the kids, and that looks perfect. Thank you for sharing the link.
Oh Yum!

Hello :)
I just recently discovered your sweet blog. And although my girls are quite a bit older than yours, I have been enjoying it very much.
I have been trying to decide if I want our advent time to be counting the days until the winter solstice or christmas. I am wondering when you started your countdown? 24 days back from solstice? December 1st? I was so indecisive I decided to wait on any kind of calender until next year. Happy Winter Holidays to you!
Hi Nicole,
I just discovered your blog, and it is so beautiful.
I don't know what is going on with the AP local group, but maybe we can keep up via blogs.
We don't do anything for St. Nicholas' day, but we do celebrate the solstice. We set out bird feeders and spruce up the fairy garden, I'm looking forward to hearing more about your traditions.
Be well,
Deva
December is such a lovely month for so many different celebrations. It's heartening to know they all revolve around peace, serenity and love!
Enjoy your celebrations. Your table is beautiful. I so love Ostheimer and your St.Nicholas is fabulous.
Peace,
Kimara
