Santa Lucia

Today was Santa Lucia's day and Mara was our Santa Lucia this year. Carrie wrote a great post on her blog about this festival.

Aujourd'hui, c'était la Ste-Lucie et Mara était notre Ste-Lucie cette année. Carrie a écrit un excellent message sur ce festival sur son blogue.



I baked Santa Lucia's buns the night before that we ate together by candlelight this morning.

J'ai fait des brioches de la Ste-Lucie la soirée précédente et nous les avons mangées tous ensemble ce matin à la lueur de la chandelle.




Mara made a beautiful Santa Lucia's drawing.

Mara a fait un beau dessin de Ste-Lucie.



We also made these stained-glass window decorations (tutorial) today. The girls love the process of this craft and the smell of melting beeswax crayons!

Nous avons fait ces vitraux décoratifs (tutoriel) aujourd'hui. Les filles adorent ce processus et l'odeur des crayons de cire d'abeille qui fondent!

We finally put our decorations outside!
