Busyness kept me from posting this last week. Not that I am not busy now, but I've got a little time in the early morning...
 |
| Gum drop and toothpick structures - a favorite crafty activity |
 |
| Our eldest, 14, enjoying a little Christmas humor. |
 |
| A Saint Nicholas waits quietly on the mantle. |
 |
| Handmade replicas of family landmarks (Aland, Finland). Front: a typical Swedish cottage (Aland is owned by Finland, but is Swedish in heritage. Both languages are spoken. Middle: Christiansund the family home (c. 1932 ) where my M-i-L was born. Back: Eckero church the family church. (c. early 1200s ). |
 |
| One of our favorite play nativity sets. (I know, I know, shoot me - the baby Jesus is already in the manger. ) |
 |
| Baking, baking, baking. I'm discovering that despite the larger kitchen, I seem to have less working space. Hmmm.... |
 |
| Farmor, E, and L enjoy a Christmas story. |
 |
| We wait all year for this delight: Svenska Glogg (Swedish Glogg). It is sort of like mulled wine, but the only wine in it is port (the rest is more port, brandy and vodka). A warmed mug is the perfect nightcap on a cold winter's evening. |
