December was a fantastic month. I have to wonder if it was a unique year because Sanaa understood that "Christmas" exists - thinking everything that was a tree, sparkled, was lit up, or what not were all "Christmas" (and why not, actually?). But she didn't know about presents until the night or two before when we put presents under the tree for family and she started to wonder what that might be all about.
Lots of baking, time off, wonderful wintry holiday functions, and the last day of school before she moved on to her new Montessori education. I almost cried on her last day.
My baking for Christmas Eve was off, I'll have to say. Somehow my lack of training in mixing techniques managed to manifest itself in the quality of the first few items. But then thankfully my dear friend Aileen came over and gave me a solid baking lesson and things turned out better than they started.
Here are 3 videos, all of which give you a wonderful glimpse into our December. And here are the pictures from the month as well.
