"On the morning of December 13, the oldest daughter dresses in a special long white dress with a red ribbon around the waist and white socks and no shoes. She puts a wreath made out of leaves on her head. The wreath has 6 - 8 candles on it...The children serve [milk] and [amazing cinnamon rolls dripping in frosting] to the rest of the family...As they bring in the [rolls] and [milk] the girls sing "Santa Lucia" (in Swedish, of course), (this didn't happen)...and then...the children then go to their neighbors and teachers and serve them the [milk and cinnamon rolls] (this didn't happen either).
So, this is what Mae did...more or less. Bottom line...we got cinnamon rolls! -T
I wanna say this is the one we ended up using on our Christmas card
There's our Catholic deacon boy?
Nope, that's actually our Mae J!
Lots of distractions going on so she keeps the candlelit hat on
She wanted no part of the Santa hat..."It's Santa LUCIA, not Santa CLAUS!"
What the...?
She didn't technically bring the cinnamon rolls to us, she actually didn't even want them for herself. Here's us...trying to trick her into eating cinnamon rolls by enticing her with broccoli first. Our daughter is not normal.
Scared to death of sweets...she actually once told us, "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips."
Eating her broccoli, keeping an eye on the evil cinnamon rolls
This is post-dinner so...Broccoli = Dessert
So we trapped her to make her eat sweets!
"You WILL eat sweets little girl!"
(she looks like she just wants to dive right in, huh?)
We gave up...Dad ate the cinnamon roll and Mae ate her preferred dessert
It's not funny Mae...you're a strange strange child.
Green=Good, Sweets=Sin
