Laurie strikes a silly pose before we read a bedtime story by the tree:
Once the tree was up, Alina moved into the livingroom and has been sleeping under the tree ever since. My sister's little cat has been keeping her company. My mom has several cute pictures of the cat sleeping on top of Alina ... just gotta get my hands on the pics!
One of our Christmas traditions is to go see the lights at the Praça da Liberdade. Last year was the first time in 16 years that I didn't go, sniff. Everything was hurried last year and Christmas just flew by. Maybe it's because it was my first year in college, Alina's first year in a "normal" school and it was kind of hard to adapt to all the extra deadlines, papers to turn in, homework, appointments, etc. etc. on top of my usual workload. Thank God this year we made the time for it and had an enjoyable evening together.
We almost didn't bake Christmas cookies this year due to my lack of cooking skills. My sister kindly made the dough and Laurie helped me with the decorating part, so we ended up having homemade cookies. Yay for us!
Enjoying the cookies:
