This weekend Hanne and I have baked for Christmas.  We did the same last year and we love this tradition.  We have had so fun in the kitchen, and I am already looking forward to next years baking.

Rusken was very curious about what was going on.  He hoped something will drop down on the floor.  But Christmas cookies was not his kind of favorite.

When all baking was done our traditional baking dinner.

I am already looking forward to next year's baking too :-)
This is fun in every way. We have not done much sewing though, but there are still a few hours before I drive home, so hopefully we have something to show in the sewing department too, before the is done :-)

Veldig hyggelig å bake i fellesskap, vi var to familier i dag. Nå lukter det veldig jul her.

Its so nice to make new traditions as our children get older and some things get rearranged. Cookies look wonderful and I am anxious to see the mystery too!
