I found the tart shells on Friday, finished most of my shopping on Saturday and spend yesterday baking, wrapping and making perogies! The Christmas season is underway in my home :)
I did a baking exchange with 7 other girls yesterday. How awesome to have a variety of baking in my fridge now. I still have a few things I want to make, but it's more done than not at this point. We also managed, between 8 of us, to make 12 dozen perogies. Baba's dough recipe yielded some wonderful, stretchy dough that everyone said was very easy to work with. None of the perogies opened up as we boiled them - success!
I also attended the church's choir concert last night. They are truly an amazing choir and it was wonderful to just soak in all the music and singing.
AK will be surprised to come home today and see the gifts under the tree. I've only put the gifts for other people under the tree for now, will remove them on Christmas Eve and put hers and mine under the tree instead, so it will be another surprise yet for her when she gets up on Christmas morning. We have a little gift to wrap together tonight for AK's school Christmas party on Thursday. I hope she enjoys doing that with me.
The cold front here continues. I can see the water from my office and there are some big waves and whitecaps. It was nice to open my windows as I baked this weekend. Even with the oven on, it was still very pleasant in my home. xo
