These days

Nisse the house elf has been opening his door this month to leave little handmade gifts for us each day. In return, the kids have been creating elaborate scenes for him as well - it is such a magical time of year!

We are continuing to create a storm of goodies, including beautiful swedish stars from a favorite upstate NY blog

Or just decorating ourselves as ballerina reindeer

Or working on the sewing machine (AnaSofia is starting to get into helping me - YAY!) with fabric scraps to make some sweet garlands to send out!

So busy in a quiet, joyous, cozy kind of way!
