We had a lovely Christmas. Since a picture is worth 1,000 words, I'll share some photos of the last 3 days.
I finished the sewing on the 22nd. Pk managed to make my sewing machine function (it worked but not optimally. It moved slowly.) The projects were knitting project bags for Kate and Emily. Kate's had monkeys and Em's had robots. Both had polka dots. Inside I put a skein of sock yarn, some Harmony dpns and a Knit kit. Everything they needed to grab and go. We also baked more cookies.
We had a half day on the 23 and finished baking the cookies. Elanor made a batch of raspberry thumbprints by herself. (She is NOT a cook). They are delicious. On the 24th, I made the babka and the chocolate torte and both came out perfectly. We decorated the cookies and Pk gets the award for the oddest cookie. He made the Flying Christmas Cow.
We finished the baking and cleaning and I had time to take a nap before Em and Kate got here. Pk made meatbal…
