We celebrated St. Lucia Day today. It is a holiday in Sweden for those of you who were wondering and my dad's paternal grandparents were from Sweden.We had the whole family over for a brunch. We have had the Saffron buns and they were gross. So we had cinamon rolls and orange rolls. After Mary read a story to the kids about Lucia Day. Ashlee even wore her crown with the electric candles. It was fun.
To catch you up on the first half of December:
To catch you up on the first half of December:
I had my piano recital on the 4th. It went really well. I am glad to be done with piano for the month though. I get to spend time with the family and work on Christmas stuff now.
Then on Saturday the 5th we went to see Santa. Mom and Dad's insurance agent had a party with Santa and live reindeer and a fire truck ride. Kyle painted a picture of an ambulance (which is what he wants from Santa) and gave it to Santa. Then he rode the fire truck. I t was about 15 degrees that day so Henry and Kyle frose on the ride but Kyle's smile was worth it!
That night we had promised Kyle we would go the the parade downtown (The Parade of Lights). It was too cold though. So instead we lied to him and told him the parade was canceled due to weather and we drove around and looked at Christmas lights. There is a house near downtown Littleton that has an awesome display. You can get out of your car and walk around and look at the lights. There are trains and shadow boxes with dolls. Kyle had been asking to go see it so we went there.
That is pretty much what we have been up to so far. I will try to updaye on amore regular basis (like weekly).
