Sarah Birthday / Snow

Well, Sarah's season of plenty has begun - with her birthday yesterday. We had some muffins rolled in cinnamon sugar for breakfast (complete with a candle and the Happy Birthday song) as a birthday morning treat and Sarah chose to bring some peppermint meringue candy canes to school to share with her classmates. She rushed home in the afternoon in anticipation of unwrapping her presents...




She LOVED the moon boots from Granny and Grandpa, even though it was too cold outside (low 20's Fahrenheit) to really get a chance to use them.


Later that evening, our neighbor upstairs, Kati, came down and shared some birthday cake with us. This was the first time in a while that I have baked a proper cake. Sarah chose chocolate fudge cake with white chocolate frosting.



The next morning, Sarah enjoyed the rare opportunity to attend school in her pajamas, as a pajama pancake breakfast with Santa was the big event of the day.



After school, Mom had a surprise - a new sled and snow pants. We had a snack and then headed up hill to a small park where the neighborhood children often gather for sledding. Below are pictures of all three of us enjoying the sunny afternoon.









We are all looking forward to a relaxed Christmas vacation, more snow, lots of good food and a visit from friends during the week between Christmas and New Years. We'll post more photos as the week progresses!

Love,
Margo
