The weekend has been busy but fun. It began with the girls at their ice show. They both did a great job and we were really proud of them. Their Grammy was able to join us and throughly enjoyed the show. After the show was done, it was time for family skate which meant that I finally got in my first skate of the season. Yeah!! Then it was time for Santa to arrive with his elves. As you can see, one of the elves looked remarkably like our big.
Then it was home for some cookie decorating with Grammy followed by homework for Katrine and baking for Elspeth. She was thrilled to have a chance to bake with her Baba and Grammy. This year we tried a gluten free version of one of Glenn’s grandma’s recipes – Rocks.  They have nuts so I can’t confirm that they are tasty but they got thumbs up by the other three testers so they can’t be too bad.
At church this morning, the girls got to practise the Christmas Eve play. Below is a sneak peak. Katrine is to be a judge and Elspeth the Virgin Mary. It will be really cute.
While Katrine was working on a group project this afternoon, Elspeth had some snowy fun with a friend and began to learn how to sew on the sewing machine. She turned a t-shirt that she had grown out of (a favourite) into a pillow…with a little help from mom. To say she is proud of herself is an understatement. I see more sewing in our future.
