Two days before Christmas we got to go to my mom's house and have a Finnish feast!
She made my favorite Finnish potato bread (top) and rice bread (bottom)...
This is the kind we ate almost everyday while in Finland and I even brought some home!
Next step is to learn how to make it.

Next, we acted out the nativity.
The boys looked soooo funny and cute in their wisemen/ innkeeper outfits.

Elli was Mary and Bailey was the angel.
It was cute to hear all the kids reading their parts so well.

I remember hiding in there when I was little too.

Look at all the red! (I didn't even help the boys get their clothes that day.)
Merry Christmas! Hyvää joulua!
