Christmas!

With Christmas just a few days away, I thought I should share some December pictures/events with you-I know the blog has been neglected for over a month, but we have excuses!
Shall I name them all??? Smile!

We had a nice Thanksgiving, celebrating with our grandparents-We made our usual 2 gallons of "Peppernuts" on Thankgving.
We've almost eaten through our gallon! Mmmm.....

Precision is the key!


Susanna helped with the rolling, and taste-testing!

Pumpkin Walnut Cheesecake-Our Thanksgiving dessert!


In our school history class, we've just learned about Jewish Holidays. So with 3 other families, we had a special Sedar (say-dar) Meal similar to a Passover Celebration.
It was a wonderful time of new foods and fellowship, liturgy and Bible reading.



Horseradish Root


Matzah Ball Soup!


The "Haggadah" (order) booklet which we followed




We've had lots of snow already, and by the
looks of it today, more is coming!
But, we stay warm as we stay by the fire!
Miles made a fire in this round log!

A Blessed Merry CHRISTmas you and your family from The Beckman Family!!!
