Today was the annual Christmas in Moravia event - chock full of all of the festivities of a Skaneateles Dickens Christmas, without it being, well...Skaneateles. Lots of fun, but I needed to write myself a schedule to keep up.
Our 4-H club does a cookie decorating event every year during Christmas in Moravia at Coffee 'n Cream, my friend Sarah's cafe/gallery - where kids can come and decorate (and eat of course) sugar cookies. So we were there helping to set up at 9am, Anna and her friend Hailey were Mary and Joseph respectfully (hey...they were short on boy recruits) for the living nativity scene on main street (the baby, by the way, was a very old cabbage patch kid...hysterical!). Cara, Jeffy and I rang bells for the Salvation Army at 11am, Cara's 5th grade chorus sang at 12:30pm - she was really excited to have a solo this year - so had to be there. Then we were on cookie decorating helper duty 1-2:30pm.
Jeff was away this weekend helping his folks move to their winter retreat...so I was flying solo (now you know why I needed the schedule). And Jeffy during all of this, was a trooper...although no one really knows how many cookies he ate :).
As for the picture! Anna's friend Haley's mom has a fairly new photography business...and we thought we'd reach out to her for some help on Christmas pics. She spent part of the afternoon with us last Sunday - and caught some fun family time (thanks Tracy!) One of the options is above.
