It's starting to look a lot like Christmas!

I present to you, Linnea and Arran's Christmas nook! Here you can see our tree, which is still alive and can be planted outside when the holidays are over. It is decorated with gingerbread ornaments courtesy of Arran's mom (thanks again, Marilee :)!) some ribbon I braided and then Arran wrapped around the tree, some smaller ornaments that were given to me, and some little things that I made. Under the tree are presents courtesy of Arran's parents (we have presents!). On the window sill you can see our advent calender- Arran let's me open the little windows every day because I get so excited to do it. And then we also have a few smaller decorations. Basically we're all ready for Christmas! We've also been listening to Christmas music and have even gone to a few Christmas markets

To further get in the holiday spirit, I plan on making cookies, complete with red and green sprinkles either today and tomorrow. :D

On a completely different note, I was going through pictures I hadn't posted and came upon these:


Can you see the little hedgehog?


So, one day back in October I was walking home from school and I saw the little guy, or gal, trying to cross the street. When they made it about half way across, a car started coming, so I ushered them to the other side so they wouldn't get hit. The next problem was that there were curbs on the street and the hedgehog was too small to crawl up onto the side walk, so I picked them up and put them on the side walk, where they scurried away. And that is my story about saving a hedgehog :)
