Birthdays & Christmas

Today, I made my first injera.  I didn’t pour fast enough, so it was too think, but Tigist said it was good.  She’s too nice to me.  I have lots of time to practice...

Then, I made my first high, high-altitude cake for Jerry’s birthday.  It was probably the best chocolate cake I’ve made in years!  Go figure!  What luck!

The kids have been asking about a Christmas tree.  But trees are hard to come by here, and I have not seen an evergreen.  We could bring in a potted palm, but that didn’t seem to fit the bill. 

So, today, after we celebrated Jerry’s birthday, we decorated our tree!  I think it might be the prettiest tree we’ve ever had!  The kids did an amazing job, don’t you think?  And no needles to clean up!

 

They even made some paper snowflakes to add to the mood.  I love my kids!

The finished product!
