Birthdays to Celebrate

 It is always a gift to have birthdays to celebrate, such as Mom's birthday back in October.

Our last family-birthday with Dorothy at her corner of the table.

We have had the joy of celebrating several of our friend's 
early December birthdays with her as our guest. (She is more like family by now.)


But this was the first year she has seen snow at our place.


We had to go out for a little snowy tramp just before she left for the airport!



Soon before Christmas comes Elsa's birthday. 
This year she chose a hot-dog roast in the fireplace and a coconut-cream-frosted orange cake.



Her birthdays are always festive with Christmas decorations.


I surprised Elsa with her very own pair of TheNauticalNordic mittens.


She had no idea when I had time to make them without her seeing! 
Well... riding to and from the airport, some mornings before breakfast,
and sitting by Dorothy in her bedroom those last days.
