Domestication Projects...

I just got my mill! WooHOo, thanks mom and dad! I've been dying to try it, but I was sick for a few days after the Thanksgiving invasion at our house. So now that I'm so better, I got out some wheat.
Ground some flour...And used another special gift (thanks Chris and Esther).
To make Ebelskivers. Though messy, and time consuming, these little pancake balls with fruit in the middle (called Ebelskivers - and no this is not a made up name, they are Norwegian pancakes). A fun filled family tradition from somewhere way back when!
My husband (and his friend Allen) enjoyed the project. And now I have home ground wheat sitting in my freezer ready for more baking projects!

The most wonderful time of the year

The time is officially here to break out the Christmas decorations. Each year my husband helps me hang lights outside (I think this is in an effort to make sure I don't fall off the ladder), pick out a fresh Christmas, and decorate it! Now it smells like Christmas trees all over my house! MMmmmmmm...

These are some of my favorite ornaments. The first one is a little mountain climber and he climbs the rope when you pull the bottom string... hehe
