Getting Ready For Christmas

We have started what we hope will become tradition, an
informal and super casual family get together of us, the
grandparents and the kids aunts and uncles to set
up the Christmas tree

This year we decided to do a live tree and my parents kindly
offered to cut and bring one down from their place.
Charlie Brown would be jealous

The kids had a blast while we watched

Kate was really getting into the Christmas music, getting
everyone to dance with her

I get a little chuckle every time I see it but I really
do love it. We had such a fun time with everyone.
That's what is really important. Plus, this tree
will provide us with some hilarious storytelling
every year!!!

Inspired by my Mom's bread making as well as some
needed dietary changes, I gave bread making a try

This was my first try. We were all pretty impressed

Yesterday I mad up whole wheat chickpea bread which
was incredible. It has pureed chickpeas mixed
into the dough. All four of us devoured it.

No more stroller for this on, she now insists on
pulling the wagon all the way to school to pick up
Owen. Then Owen and his friend take turns pulling her home.

This morning we woke up to a bit of snow and I just love
it has settled on the Ninebark
