How to spend the first weekend in December:
Saturday
Begin the Advent calendar.
Go Christmas shopping with Daddy. Buy your brother a stuffed froggie for his Christmas present.
Receive your Christmas ornament kits in the mail.
Go downtown for the annual Christmas parade.
Sit on Santa's lap because you're not scared of him anymore. Ask for a digital camera.
Go to a neighbor's house for an after-parade party. (Bring your own dairy-free cupcake and Tofutti Cutie.)
Come outside to find snow falling. Walk home in the snow.
Sunday
Go to Sunday School and church.
Watch Mama and Daddy's old Grinch and Charlie Brown Christmas videos.
Light the first candle on your new Advent wreath (beautifully handmade by a member of our congregation) at dinnertime while Mama reads Isaiah 40:3-5.
Dream sweet dreams.

Hi. Somehow I have come across your blog and have it in my google reader. Anyways...I wondered about your daughter taking her dairy-free cupcakes to things. How does she like that? Is she ok with it? Does it go over ok with other kids and stuff? Do you have several in the freezer and pull them out for these occasions? Are they already decorated in the freezer?
ReplyDeleteSorry for all the questions, but my daughter is allergic to dairy, eggs and soy. So, i have been letting her take a piece of candy instead of eating the cake (she doesn't normally get candy, so she has been fine with it so far). Just wondering about making cupcakes for her to take to birthday parties and such.
Thanks so much. Hopefully my e-mail will show up to you on this comment. Not sure I should post it for all the world to see. :-)
Sounds perfect!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I need is an Advent Wreath.
ReplyDeleteSounds absolutely perfect. :)
