Christmas preparations

Today is Finland's Independence Day which normally means a day off from work. We usually take advantage of that to bake a huge batch of gingerbread cookies for Christmas. Unfortunately this year the 6th of December is Saturday, so we get no extra day off from work, but we baked the cookies anyway.

The little companions were not allowed to come along to participate (I was afraid they would make a huge mess), but they could enjoy the results afterwards.


Niks: Look! we got a batch of small gingerbread cookies just for us.

Naks: They sure smell good!

Deimos: They taste good too.

Fomalhaut: Mumble gumble mgbmh...

(It seems that Fomalhaut has his mouth full of gingerbread.)


The little ones got something else, too:

Niks: Look! Building blocks for a gingerbread house!!!!

Naks: These must be decorated before they are put together...

Deimos: We'll do the decorating tomorrow...

Fomalhaut: Mumble gumble mgbmh...

(It seems that Fomalhaut still has his mouth full of gingerbread.)
