Tree is up

These are not the clearest photos in the world, but we had fun setting up the tree yesterday and hanging ornaments. This one detail really makes it feel like we've vaulted into the Christmas season. 

The kids have been buying and wrapping gifts for an "angel tree" activity at school where donations go to a local organization, Tek Ura, that does really great work here with marginalized communites. 

I set up a bunch of candles in our fireplace, makes a nice little grotto. The light colored stones in the middle are a fossil of some kind of mollusc that I found on one of our hikes.

And we made ginger cookies with sprinkles! Terry and Val ground up whole cloves for the spice mix. Yum!
