Post-Christmas Post

We had a great christmas, at oma and opa's house. Not my oma and opa, but Kaemon and Nelson's...that says it all, christmas is all for the kids! It's more fun, the dark days indoors are better because there are knee-high people running/rolling around.

This year is also a first- first time I spent christmas without crying!! BOo-Hoo. I didn't want to jinx it by saying it earlier, but yes it's true, I usually cry missing family at christmas. Contrarily, it's a bit sad that it didn't happen, because I still miss them, ...yes, women are complicated.

Anyway what we have been eating these few days: I feel like a homemaker, more than ever, because I made shaped pancakes: road-tested, and passed the grade!and a pictorial summary of our Adventures in butter and crackling (3.6 kg of lardy loveliness) this week...and (for the dieters)a foray into rice paper rolls.

Aftermath of christmas: kaemon gets a (wrapped) present and says, 'truck!'

Hedwig and Ako visit. Babysitter material!
