Der Erste Advent

Today is Sunday, December 2nd and that makes it Erster Advent! We went to some German friends who are of course the only folks around these shores that know about Advent. For you Americans out there, this is a truly European tradition. the four weeks leading up to Christmas are Adventssonntage, and you light one candle for each Sunday.
We had cookies, coffee, and of course some Gluehwein. Watson and Milo were conspicuously quiet playing with the other kids. Yes, playing. Not fighting. No hitting, no screaming or crying. That must have been a first.
