Weekly Recap: 'Twas the Week Before Christmas...

We've had a busy but fun week. Last Saturday my kids did school. There was a possibility that we could go to the movie theater on Tuesday and they didn't want to miss the chance!

Sunday was a great day at church full of lessons about Christ's birth.Our Sunday School lesson was about 7 things you didn't know about Christ's birth. This guy has some interesting books out about the topic, and many other topics. I recommend reading his stuff. After church we discovered the roof leaking still again.

THAT Bread: Swiss Zopf Bread

When I was a child, my parents learned how to make braided bread. Long ago my grandfather's family came from Switzerland, and this is a traditional Swiss and German bread. My parents began to give it to their neighbors as Christmas gifts. We would always watch my dad in fascination as he quickly braided a loaf. We loved helping roll out the strands and brushing on the egg wash!
