it could not have been a more perfect weekend of christmas preparations & celebrations. there was something almost magical about it. from the music in the backround, to the smells in the kitchen, to the fellowship with friends, to the handmade treasures, to the simplicity of it all. a bit of an old fashioned christmas...sweet joy!
cloved apples (just like the ingalls family)
baking cookies
creating handmade treasures for teachers and loved ones (i can't wait to show you the finished product!)
more baking (loaves & loaves for loved ones)
and some not exactly "baking"
caroling...so fun and heart warming, it truly felt like we had stepped back in time!
hoping this week is filled with the simple joys of christmas for you too - merry christmas!
