Happy New Year!

Cheese fondue with lots of dippers for dinner + cupcake fondue for dessert + homemade photo props + old friends = Happy New Year!

 

  

Winter Fun

 

Glad we finally bought new (used) skis for the girls so we can ski anywhere anytime!  

 

Merry Christmas!

 

I really can't decide which photo makes me laugh more...

Jia is developing her new style with her new Doc Martens, leather jackets and more...

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve Eve

Santa pancakes, peppermint play dough for the doll bakery, snowball fights, cinnamon fudge, seeing holiday lights = Christmas Eve Eve.

 

  

 

  

Volunteering

We collectively packed 33, 480 meals at Feed My Starving Children today. So proud of the girls for their hard work and giving hearts.

Hunting for Trolls and Tomte

We had a silly day at the Swedish Institute with dancing, mistletoe kisses, tomte hunting, and grumpy trolls. This was followed by tomte porridge with friends (and extra excitement when our wooden spinning Christmas candle holder started to catch on fire)!

 

  

  

 

 

 

Ebelskivers

Ebelskivers (a Scandinavian filled treat) take so much time that I only make them once a year. Today was the day! Varieties were: pear, blue cheese, pecan with drizzled honey; Nutella with whipped cream; blackberry jam with lemon juice and powdered sugar; and brown sugar and pecan with whipped cream. Done and yum!
