Thank you all for your sweet comments and emails about our tiny Mercy. She’s such a precious little snippet. I promise to have more pictures of her here for all to gush over soon!
Monday we celebrated St. Martin’s day. It was fun to go on our lantern walk last year, but with it being terribly terribly cold that night and with me being terribly terribly tired, we skipped that this year, stayed in and enjoyed the warmth.
I love these Almond Horn cookies I like to make on St. Martin’s day and looked forward to them all year. They weren’t pretty, I’m sure that’s why you cover them with powdered sugar, but they were quite tasty.
Hot Chocolate for the babies after school.
St. Martin Soldiers.
I scrounged together some things out of the pantry to make Beggar Bags for the babies. I really like the idea of giving something to “keep warm” with on St. Martin’s day since we read the story of St. Martin giving half his cloak to a beggar. It was perfect that my mom had brought up some slippers for the girls, I had a pair from Phil’s mom for Gerhardt and Essie got some “new to her” slipper hand me downs.
