Lessons and Carols

Our family got to light the Advent candle at church during the Lessons & Carols service. The whole service had such beautiful music. I wish I had a video of at least parts of it! Sean Harris, a blind singer, sang beautiful renditions of O Holy Night and Little Jesus Boy.

My parents joined us at church and then we went to Kevin's Place in Deerfield for brunch. It's definitely one-of-a-kind!

BB took Caroline to "A Christmas Carol" at the Citadel theatre.

And we've been BAKING for the holidays! Peanut blossoms, Almond butter blossoms, chocolate crinkles, frosted sugar cookies, and frosted devils food cake cookies.

The kids donned their holiday aprons to help out!

 What's more fun than rolling dough in sugar?

Poppy Seed Bread for teacher gifts this year (with ornament cards that the kids decorated.)

And Saturday's activity was making (and playing with) gingerbread playdough!  Here's a link on how to make it! Gingerbread Playdough
