Addison and Caroline turn 4!!!!

On December 8th, Addison and Caroline turned 4!  Here are some pictures from the night before and the morning of their birthday.


This year I made cupcakes to shape them into an A and C for their birthday party.  They loved decorating them!

Lucia!

The Lucia breakfast, program and boutique is something that I look forward to every year!  This year was the first time Addison and Caroline came and took part in the festivities.  I love teaching them about their Swedish heritage and hope that Lucia will be something that they look forward to for years to come!


Over the past few years I have been selling my caramel at the boutique.  I usually make all of it only a few days beforehand so that it is as fresh as possible for those who buy it for Christmas gifts.  Here is my set-up:

Thanksgiving Weekend

Thanksgiving weekend has turned into this busy and fun family time with some traditions.  It starts with Thanksgiving dinner with either my family or Scott's.  The following day we all go together and pick out our Christmas tree.  This year we added a new thing that I am sure will become part of the Thanksgiving weekend tradition since the girls keep talking about even months later.  They made gingerbread cookies using the recipe on the back of their Gingerbread Man book.  Then we spend the rest of the weekend decorating the tree and the rest of the house.  This year they were really able to help me and enjoyed it.  It was fun to decorate our new place and to have them more involved.  Thanksgiving weekend is always so much fun and makes everyone happy for the start of the holiday season!

Thanksgiving hats!
