Advent calendars are my jam. I think this will be my families fifth year participating. This year I kept it simple, but still fun.

My daughter Maxine loves all things Gabby.
My cats BB and PJ are sharing treats from Country Kitchen.
My husband and I are sharing the WSJ wine advent calendar.
I got my parents chocolate calendars.

Time to enjoy day 4!

Celebrating Epiphany

Posted on by

I’m celebrating Epiphany with my family this weekend by enjoying a galette des rois , aka King Cake. A trinket is hidden within the cake, and whoever finds it becomes King or Queen for the day.

First galette des rois of the weekend.
My husband got the crown today!

Update:

The second galette des rois got devoured before I got a chance to take a picture.

My brother-in-law got the crown for a second year in a row.
