…and through the woods…
That’s right! Off to Grandma’s house…my favorite place to spend Thanksgiving! The children have been 
excitedly packing for days. Sorting, folding, making lists and cleaning…all preparations for our trip. I do hope you and yours have the happiest of Thanksgivings. This is such a wonderful time…the crisp fall air, the smell of turkey and stuffing; I can hardly wait until tomorrow!
We are still busily preparing for Advent. We haven’t yet chosen our slips for our Nativity Advent-ure, but I imagine that will take place this weekend…Clementine and Elizabeth will be there, and I’m delighted that they’ll be able to begin the Advent journey with us. It’s wonderful to have this “busy time” – getting things set ahead of time helps us to immerse ourselves with a little more peace during this coming season of stillness. I’ll leave you now, with best wishes, prayers and a few links for your enjoyment. Blessings!
Preparing for a Holy Advent-ure
I am a traditional Catholic homeschooling mother of 9 children, married for 27 years to the most patient and sainted man. As converts to Catholicism in 1991, our family has only recently discovered the beauty and full expression of our beliefs in the timeless liturgy of antiquity, the Extraordinary Form also commonly referred to as the Traditional Latin Mass. An avid knitter, I also enjoy gardening, reading and immersing myself in the everyday graces of my vocation.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving Kimberley and family. I think it’s such a wonderful tradition to have a national day of thanksgiving. We don’t have it here in NZ but I wish we did!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
