New Year.

I would like to wish everyone Happy New Year.

 

Christmas Dinner.

We usually have Christmas Eve supper but this year my husband was working so we moved it to the Christmas Day. I made most of the traditional dishes like: fish with veggies, sauerkraut with dry mushrooms and split peas with potatoes, perogies with sauerkraut and another one with prunes, red borscht with home made mushroom dumplings and for drink I made stewed fruits. There also was lots of baked goods. And this year I managed to take some pictures before we started. 

 

Tree.

Its beginning to look like Christmas, our tree is here and its bigger then ever. Ornaments are hanged, lights are twinkling, decorations are up throughout the house, cookie dough is ready in the freezer and most of the Christmas food is cooked and frozen. Gifts are almost done - Christmas can come. 

 

Reading.

This time of a year we are pulling out Christmas books, but not for everyone.

My older daughter is more focused on school reading and I got my hands on the newest book from the  Harry Potter world.
