Christmas with the Andrews

Yesterday we spent the day with the Andrews in Fredericton. 

They are spending Christmas in Ontario with Jeremys family.

Brenna had the day off so we were all together.

In the above picture, Charles is dancing with Pap (this is Charles version of Pappy and I think it will stick)

Helping Pap put together his toy organizer.

 

After his afternoon nap it was time to open Charles presents.

We had opened the adult presents while he was napping.

 

Today

This is the weather outside today.

Christmas Party

(It's hard to take your own picture.....this was the best we could do)

Friday night we went to a christmas party at Riverside Golf Club.

It was provided by the orthopaedic department.

There was staff from both operating rooms, from the orthopeadic floor, physio, recovery room, all the surgeons admin. assists and company reps.

Fun was had by all.

Christmas Baking

I was off today and decided to get a start on my Christmas baking. 

The day started out snowy and I played christmas all day.

LOVELY!

 Almond Fingers.

These have been a Christmas tradition since I was a kid and I have continued it with my family.

 Cherry Balls.

My Nanny would make these each Christmas,

but last year was the first time I made them.

It makes a small batch but they are very rich.

 Swedish Tea Cakes.

Mom has always made them, so I added them to the baking for this year.

Shortbread Cookies.

Theses were not made when I was growing up, but they just melt in your mouth.

So easy to make.
