Thursday morning, I made lefse for the evening dinner celebration. The "potato tortillas" were a big hit!
Friday was rainy (go figure) so we stayed home and enjoyed each other's company. Ruby has learned how to go from sitting to laying down on command.
On Saturday, we decked the halls! We bought a Christmas tree from Haylock's here in La Ceiba (plastic of course) and put the tree together. Back in July, when we were moving out of our Mpls apartment, we had a bit of a fiasco with our movers. They were so thorough- they even packed some ornaments that we hadn't planned on moving. Nevertheless, it ended up being just the right amount to make our tree look beautiful and full.
This morning, we woke up and could hardly believe our eyes. It was brilliantly sunny and warm. The whole family enjoyed backyard activities today. Tom dug us a new garden. Ruby dug and renovated her "den" under the tree, and I read a book on a blanket.
Once the garden was all tilled up, we enjoyed a little backyard pool party. It was a great afternoon! Even Ruby went for a swim!
