Holiday Visit

The girls' good friends Apple and Milli came to visit from NYC for a holiday sleepover in what is becoming a December tradition. On Saturday the four girls put up one of our trees, helped wrap presents, watched a holiday video while I baked cookies and made peppermint bark and finally all of us went to see Elf at the nearby Paper Mill Playhouse, which was a great production and full of cheer and pep. On Sunday, we all went to church for the service and pageant rehearsal, and then in the afternoon went caroling at a nearby nursing home and the home of one of our parishioners, finishing up with an open house for cider and cookies at our place. Truly a weekend to get into the spirit.

Fun on Saturday:
