It's just not Christmas without lasagna. And so.... Christmas Eve I had to make some, just so we wouldn't be without it.

And here's little Nora looking excitedly for Santa out the window...


... although she wasn't so sure what she thought when Santa actually showed up. (Really reminds me of myself when I was little!)
