Christmas presents



This morning we got the kids all dressed up and took them to church where they (mostly) behaved; afterwards they had lunch (pea soup & ham!) and opened up their presents. The girls recieved gifts of ski hats and mittens, and insisted on wearing them them the whole afternoon, in the sure and certain hope that would convince me to take them to Northstar tomorrow. Unfortunately there is very little snow in Tahoe, and driving up there to ski on the very few trails that are open would be pointless. Plus everyone is a little bit tired after the last few days.

I used some of the leftover cheese from the smorgasbord to make gougeres, and we nibbled on those as a snack.  If you click on the picture you can see the kids wearing their hats, which are their New Favorite Thing.
