Today is the feast day of St. Lucy (Lucia of Syracuse). The girls surprised us with beautiful music, Lucia buns, tea, coffee, and candles. If you are looking for a wonderful Lucia story, check out Carrie's link to "A Little Story for St. Lucy's Day."
Heute feiern wir das Fest der heiligen Lucia. Die Mädchen haben uns mit schönem Gesang, Luciabrötchen, Tee, Kaffee und Kerzen überrascht.

I gave my German final exam, Peter took Miriam and Veronika to their annual doctor's check-ups. They found out later that Heidi had been there for her check-up just a few hours before them! Maybe we should also coordinate our doctor's appointments. And the evening was filled with a master class by Beau Hutchings (Broadway Musical Theater) and a rehearsal for the Nutcracker. I stayed home with Flora and waited for Jonathan to arrive. He made it fine, his car has been fixed, and he is glad to be home.
Ich habe meine deutsche Abschlußklausur beim College gegeben. Peter war mit Miriam und Veronika beim Kinderarzt zur Vorsorgeuntersuchung. Später haben sie herausgefunden, daß auch Heidi an diesem Tag dort zur Vorsorgeuntersuchung war, nur etwas früher. Vielleicht sollten wir auch eine Fahrgemeinschaft für Arzttermine bilden! Dann gab es eine Klasse mit Beau Hutchings, der den Mädchen Tänze zu Broadway Musical Stücken beigebracht hat, und danach noch eine Probe für den Nußknacker. Ich bin mit Flora zu Hause geblieben, um auf Jonathan zu warten. Er ist heile angekommen, sein Auto ist repariert worden und er ist froh, zu Hause zu sein.
We made cardboard crowns and buns that we had for an after dinner treat. When I say we I mean everyone but me! I have it on good authority that they were delicious 😀
ReplyDeleteSo nice you could celebrate a bit. Peter is always a bit scared when Charlotte comes in with burning candles on her head (we use our Advent wreath). You can buy these special Lucia crowns (for real candles). They are out of metal and hold the candles securely, but they are really expensive. There are recipes for paleo Lucia buns. Would that work?
DeleteHappy St. Lucia Day! I love the lussekatts . . I love saffron!
ReplyDeleteSame to you! I used up all our saffron . . . The buns were tasty.
