Inside the Minds of Valerie and Mike (and Anna)
As much as I love the Advent/Christmas season, I am just not ready for it this year. Most years, I try to start the outdoor decorations on Thanksgiving weekend.

This is the fourth year in a row that I will challenge myself to hold to a daily Advent discipline of capturing a photo each day based on a prescribed daily theme.
