In the morning, I took the girls outside to play in the ice/snow. We have some of those Sno*Markers which meant that they had something to do aside from slid on the ice. They got pretty creative. I can honestly say that if you launder snowclothes covered in this “ink” it comes right out of snow clothes.
We had picked up Glenn’s mom yesterday and then my parents joined us at our place today so we have a full house right now. My parents got a new tree and as a result, they donated their old one to us. Now we have two trees. As you can see, there are a few ornaments on the new one but that is okay, we can grown into it. The girls talked their Grammy into helping them.
Then Katrine got roped into helping her Grandma do the prep work for the lentil soup for Christmas Day.
The work in the kitchen was no where near done. There were sugar cookies and Baby Jesus’ birthday cake to be iced as well as a gift for Mom to be made. (Katrine did the ‘Saint Jesus’ on the cake. Never heard that before but oh well).
Glenn worked with Elspeth to make me Candy Cane Bath Salts with Katrine as the official photographer.
(Epson salts; add peppermint oil and food colouring; stir and bottle. Smells great.)
After dinner it was off to chruch for the evening service followed by a tour of local lights before the Santa set up began.
The girls even had their stuffies get in on the act.
