Yesterday (Sunday, November 29th) marked the start of the Advent season. We are celebrating this season of preparation and waiting by reading along with Louie Giglio in his 2020 Advent Devotional, Waiting Here For You. 

Carmen didn't prepare well enough for a weekend of watching football. Bill surprised us as he is ahead of schedule with his Christmas tree...sorta! 

Not only are we preparing for Christmas with the Advent devotional, we are preparing for a Blue Giraffe gift exchange. 

We couldn't get past Thanksgiving without catching up on how the prep for Thanksgiving meals went for Dave and Bill. 

If 2020 has been a season of grief for you and you are finding the idea of celebrating Christmas a difficult task, Bill shared a post with some tips to help you focus on what matters this Christmas. 

Having cut the cord from his cable bill, Bill had to find a way to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and while he didn't find what he was originally looking for he was happy with his alternative. 

And Dave let us know how his Thanksgiving camping trip went.
