Third week of Advent ~ JOY!

The third week of Advent we celebrate the Joy of the coming King. The pink candle is lit and we remember the angels message of good news:>) We had our Advent tea tonight. Youngest daughter did the honors and it was delicious!
Victoria made these baked baby bella mushrooms stuffed with sausage and parmesan cheese, recipe here. a delightful platter of persimmons and sliced bosc pears to go with a baked brie, and her handmade cream puffs filled with chocolate and vanilla custard! It was all beautiful and delicious. Victoria is 17, am I proud of her? Well, yeah! I wish you all joy in the coming weeks:>)
