first cookie baking with my family in five years,
first Christmas decorating of our house,
first Christmas tree purchase,
first Skype call with our far-away family,
first Festival of Christmas experience for my husband,
and first broken garage door experience!
What a week!
Sunday, we enjoyed a brunch of
Buttermilk Pancakes and Apple-y Sauce
For dinner, we made Kentucky Hot Browns --

Monday night, we enjoyed Thanksgiving leftovers

Friday night, we were treated to a delightful dinner, a Schomorgesborg, actually, of traditional Scandinavian foods before our Christmas concert!

And, for dessert… Baked Fudge.
That was for all their help with our house this fall!
