It's feeling festive in our apartment. Our miniature Christmas tree is up (all of 2 feet high, left from a previous renter). Paper snowflakes are hanging on the windows and doorways. That's the extent of our Christmas decorations; there's no space for anything else!
We went to the chateau after lunch and ran into several friends and acquaintances--as usual. Inga and Eric stayed the longest and ended up getting invited to a birthday party. They also played pickup soccer with a group of boys, and Inga schooled them all.
We did meal planning this evening, and every child had to plan a menu that they will cook.
- Ivy: radicchio risotto, lebkuchen
- Inga: pirate chicken, galette des Rois
- Dio: tortellini with pesto, tiramisu
- Zari: tian, tarte au citron
- Rixa: ricotta & spinach tart
- Eric: salmon mussel quiche, peach ice cream floats
And a few pictures:
