Tethering up the sleds outside church 

Katie had high hopes of getting Sam with this snowball.   She eventually thought better of it.

In the afternoon, our friend Petter came over with a super-duper Christmas present for the family - a Norwegian wool blanket from Røros Tweed.  It is a real treasure that we will enjoy for years.  Thank you to Petter and Stina!

Through the chimney of our gingerbread house.  We bought the pieces of the house in a kit, but it got quite a bit of jostling from Isaac before we built it, so I had to do some pre-construction to fix the broken pieces.  This involved burnt sugar and a few burnt fingers (mine), but the house came together nicely.

Grace and Isaac put on the finishing touches. 

The final product - it just needs a gingerbread family now.
