Christmas Time

by Karen on December 15, 2009

That means goodies to eat, like Lebanon Balogna:

Cougar Cheese from Washington State University:

And pretzels from Pennsylvania:

We also got our Christmas tree up. We had to put it in a new place (where we normally have the futon), but it looks good there:

Holiday Snapshots

by Karen on December 12, 2009

So, we’ve been busy with the usual holiday stuff: shopping, cooking, eating, singing Christmas carols, going to parties, but we did take a few photos.

Josie had her advanced band concert. They sounded great and you could really hear the difference between beginning and advanced band. The auditorium was packed, as usual, so there was lots of enthusiastic clapping.

We have a possum that climbs down our front juniper tree almost every night so we can see him quite clearly from our front window. We call him Peter the Possum. We stepped outside to the porch to take this shot.

Josie and I made Raspberry Shortbread Window cookies for the Neighborhood Cookie Party. It took us two tries and about 4 hours or so, but our second batch came out beautifully.

Finally, we got our new holiday decoration this year: a Christmas Hippo. She’s very cute and has a santa hat and a wreath of holly. She fits right in with our two reindeer.
