A few years back I read this same book with the older girls and we watched the movie on a projector in an airbnb in Denmark. It was perfect because the witches were all in Norway and there we were randomly in the Nordics on holiday and we finished the book! To celebrate we picked out random treats and candies that we’ve never tried which was easy since we were in a foreign country. This has now become a tradition and since then we have read/watched numerous books/movies in the same fashion. Today was Toobs turn to carry on the tradition.

Wohoo, day 1 of the advent calendar and candle! We were stuck in Terceira so Sophie and I went walking for nearly 3 hours to find a store that had the calendars. Our hunt was a success and everyone was able to open their first chocolate!!

On our hunt we bumped into a virtual ride booth so obvi had to stop to do the haunted roller coaster. Then we ran into a Christmas fair and saw Santa coming in on the fire truck. Good way to kick off the season…even though we were delayed 2 days to get home and at this point still missing the piece of luggage with all the Xmas presents.

We did make it home on the 2nd and were reunited with the fur family after a month of travels. Let the Xmas festivities begin!
