it doesn’t get much cozier than cooking & baking a thanksgiving dinner with snow falling down & christmas music ringing in my ears. perfect afternoon.

friday night at the theater. the addams family. it was amazing!
snow
saturday morning & a quick run to the grocery store & the bakery for some last minute necessities. snow everywhere!

fresh baked bread, cheese, & coffee. so typical swedish.

the thanksgiving table is all set. almost dinner time!

our star in the window was the perfect backdrop for a cozy table setting. ( i give credit to my love. it was her idea).
food
bon appétit!

an international thanksgiving with amazing women. around the table we were: british, german, half swedish/half american, 2 americans, & 2 swedes. so cool.

sunday morning. the first sunday in advent! got my red tights on.
advent celebrations at church with tons of music. lina sang a little solo. i heart her voice.

after church, we headed out to a few christmas markets in town. we visited a fair trade market & supported the local lgbt organization. of course.

yep. the first weekend of advent has come to a close. and i could not be any more excited that i already am about this time of year. hope you had a great weekend, that you are beginning to feel a little of the holiday spirit yourself, and most importantly, that you slow down some… even in the middle of all of the craziness & stress & fun.

wishing you a week of stars, lights, comfort & peace.

  2. What a fabulous gift to be able to walk through your weekend via your photos and words — and I took my photo yesterday, btw 🙂 me, my red dog walking coat and my pooch — I know, the red was a day late but I’m one day behind! 🙂
