12 Days of Christmas -Day 7

I've gotten a little behind on getting these posted but I've just learned the 12 days days didn't actually start til the 25th. So I guess I'm really ahead. It's interesting to see how my taste and style has changed since I did these back in 2009 and 2010. That WAS a long time ago. I must seriously consider something new for next year.
Our snow has stuck around for 3 whole days. Kind of nice for a change.

12 Days of Christmas - Day 6

A tradition in our family, from my mother's side, is to make Kuchen for Christmas.

It's an egg custard sort of thing with prunes or other fruit. Perhaps I'll get time to post the recipe this year.

12 Days of Christmas -Day 5

It's Five on Friday and what do you know? It's coordinating perfectly with Day 5. Come join the party and ink up here.
I actually have two day 5s because I liked them both too much too eliminate one. My lovely nieces a couple years ago.

12 Days of Christmas -day four

Just a little distracted these days. No lights on the house still, but I bought a small tree strung it with white lights and set it by the front door. The tree is finally up but the stockings are not yet hung and I still need to make one for baby girl. We tried a Christmas photo shoot yesterday and it didn't go near as well as the last one. but I think I got some keepers.

Twelve Days of Christmas -Day Three

Yes, they rule.

The 12 Days of Christmas -Day One

In 2009, I started making digital cards for the 12 days of Christmas and emailed them to friends and family. Since I didn't have a blog in those days, I shall post them this year. I repeated the tradition yearly, but alas, I ran out of ideas. So most of these will be from 2009 and maybe I'll through in an extra from 2010.
