I have been so privileged thru the years to have worked with some wonderful people. I worked with this group of friends for 3 years. About 1 1/2 years ago, we were split up and three of us now work in one building, and the other three work down the street. Because of conflicting schedules, we rarely have the time to go out to lunch together (like we did in the past). But last week, we met together at our favorite Vietnamese restaurant and enjoyed catching up on each others' lives. Although very short, the time together was very sweet!
Our department at work has a yearly contest of "decorating the door." This year we chose a gingerbread house theme.
Thanks to the creative genius of my friend Cindy, (and her Cricut machine!) our door turned out really cute! The hard work was worth all of the fun comments from our patients and fellow-workers.
Our organization hosts a Christmas dinner for all of the staff members. This year was no exception; the food was delicious and the decor (Winter Wonderland) was awesome.
Cindy and I, in the Atrium, before we returned to work.
Around the house, reminders of Christmas are everywhere. Putting up the different decorations bring back memories of people and places we've lived...like our friend in Mayville who made this creche for us...
...and another friend who quilted this wall hanging
...and friends in Fergus who gave me these snowpeople
Last weekend I invited a couple girls over to do some baking.
We had such a fun time! Laughing, and visiting, and sampling the treats...
I even taught them how to make Krum Kake! They thought it was great fun!
This was the result of our labor...five hours later! It is indeed, "the most wonderful time of the year!"
