I live in Birmingham, Michigan, with my husband Kyle, our son Nathan and our daughter Evelyn. The blog is named for our late dog Pete, a Rhodesian Ridgeback who died in 2014. Late in 2015, we returned to the US after living five years overseas (Seoul, South Korea and Königstein im Taunus, Germany).

Signed, Sealed, Delivered

Since Natey and Evy can't be with their cousins for the Holiday Season, I thought it might be nice to share in a little festive "advent"ure…We assembled and filled Advent Calendars for the Allens, NC Bupps and Lansing Crocketts. 

Oh what fun! 
All set up and ready to stuff
My Christmas elf
BEFORE
aka: "Hmm, this looks yummy, perhaps I will sample some…"
AFTER
aka: "Delicious!"


One table full of candy was temptation enough. I decided to assemble and stuff the remaining calendars without my little elf's "help." 


One of our cards accompanying the packages
All done!
Off to the Post
Signed, sealed and ready to be delivered
"…and also this truck, please."


Then we waited…

Mom waited
      
Nate waited
Evy waited


In time for the first day of December, news of their arrivals trickled in from North Carolina:

Success! It was a really fun way to share a little part of the holidays each day with some of our family. We miss you guys very much. Merry Christmas!
