A lovely Christmas

we had indeed and guess what, Santa even visited our house.  Yes, he did.  Look at these excited girlies...

And yes, Santa brought just the right colors :)

Breakfast and then a nice long walk outside.  One of the things I absolutely love about living in Portland is that it is always possible to take long walks outside.  All of us walked up Mt. Tabor, stopped at the Wishing Tree for a special wish, and on the way back down - of course - stopped at the playground.  I always feel so much better better day after a nice long walk....


After our walk the girls were ready for some long awaited movies and we started cooking our traditional Christmas feast.  I love traditions, so on Christmas Day we make a Weihnachtsgans (Christmas goose) with Chestnut & Dried Fruit Stuffing, Kartoffelkloesse (potato dumplings), Blaukraut (red cabbage), and this year we also had brussel sprouts with chestnuts....and of course the butter was substituted in all recipes with  Earth Balance a.k.a. Vegan Butter...


I hope you all had wonderful day!
