The kids enjoyed seeing some real reindeer and taking a hay ride. I enjoyed purchasing fresh turnips for a good price and making cream of turnip soup -- yum!The week has been full of school, Christmas errands, and trying to sneak in time for a few cards and then sewing projects.
Friends spent the night last night and for dinner we had 12 kids and 6 adults. Talk about noise-level, but everyone had so much fun. And being with people is what makes the best holiday memories -- forget the decorations, cookies and presents (well, almost).
Now, I am sitting here re-grouping and deciding what needs to be a priority today. I'm going to need to do some baking and there are still cards and sewing. Hopefully I can make it fun for the kids.
Enjoy your weekend! Happy cooking, baking, wrapping, celebrating!

It looks like there might be a white Christmas. :)
What a jolly-looking Santa! We do that with the kids too - they like the 'pretend' part of it, although, like you, we don't make a big deal of Santa either. We're heading away for 3 weeks, but hope to have limited internet access, so I can keep up. I mailed your Christmas card yesterday. :o)
Have a lovely week.

I like your take on Santa. .we didn't "do" him either but we always took note of him hanging about the malls at Christmas and who doesn't need at least a few photos of Santa? He's kind of like the Easter Bunny. . just a hangabout during the holidays.
