The Countdown Begins

1 day down, 24 more to go. I love advent calendars. Lucas has really taken a liking to this one too. I've been letting him play with it today. He's actually really good at putting the stuff on there.
And then he just gets a little carried away.

Not yet Lucas, we have to wait till Christmas to put all of them up.

I didn't quite get my fill of turkey and mashed potatoes last week. That's the drawback to not actually making the turkey yourself, you don't have the leftovers. So I decided to make a small turkey for us for dinner tonight. It was delicious. I just love smothering everything with gravy. Although I left most of the gravy off for the picture so you could tell what everything is.

And I just love this picture so I thought I'd throw it in there. Lucas used to be terrified of being in the basket while it was moving. Now he loves it. And it's a good thing too, cause there's just no other way to get up the stairs with two loads of laundry and a baby.

That advent calendar is so cute. Turkey, potatoes and gravy look good, too. Sorry we didn't give you any turkey leftovers. We still have some in the fridge.

I bet Lucas is really going to enjoy the advent calendar this year. Your turkey dinner looks yummy. Did you brine it? :)

Ha. I love Lucas' PJ's and I like the picture of him in the basket. And you are so good at making dinner all the time... I never cooke unless we are having guests. In response to your comment, we are completely done Christmas shopping!! All the gifts are wrapped and under the tree... I'm a little crazy like that.

I used to carry Leah in the basket the same way! People looked at me like I was crazy, but a mom does what she's gotta do! So very cute!

You are so strong to be able to carry all of that in a basket! You're my hero :)
