cimoreneWax's brother is arriving from Seinäjoki today with his wife and two daughters. They're not staying with us because Tristana's so afraid of other cats and they are bringing their two kittens with them, so they have an airbnb in town. He made us promise not to cut down the Christmas tree in our yard until he comes, so I guess we will be decorating it together tomorrow or this evening.
It rained all night and is above freezing again, which may help the tree feel less shocked, but looks dismal out again (yesterday it had snowed just enough to be adorable).
And the to do list we made is basically done!! There are NINE tins full of homemade cookies and a quadruple recipe of rocky road waiting, plus a tin of Danish butter cookies, a pyramid of Ferrero Rocher because it's my favorite, and all three of Wax's mom's candy dishes full of store bought candy...

...We realized afterwards that we might've overdone it a bit. And that we should not make a cake after all. Somehow after the first day of baking we still thought we should make another recipe of painted sugar cookies and quadruple the rocky road. Only when I finished filling the tins were we like "Wait...".
Also I finished the necessary cleaning and hung up the star window lights in every room except the living room, where we have white paper stars under the plant lights in each window.
