It's been snowing here for nearly a week (it stops occasionally). This weather is pretty rare, but an ideal opportunity for taking photos.
St. Mary's chapel (ruins), on the scenic option of our daily commute:
View over the harbor from St. Mary's chapel.
St. Andrews Cathedral, also ruins, also in snow.
Isaac and I on Christmas Eve (snowing during our last-minute shopping) as we pause in front of Holy Trinity church (where John Knox once preached).
Our tree and many, many, many presents. (Goodness!)
Our first breakfast: treats from a local (chain) bakery called Fisher and Donaldson and some locally roasted coffee. The tallest treat (on the right) is a coffee tower; the flattest (on the left) a lemon tart, and the others are fudge donuts (think bavarian creme but much, much better).
Isaac was so good this year that he got TWO stockings! (both full!)
I wasn't quite as good . . . but I got a second stocking anyway (an incentive for next year?).
Isaac's favourite gift was this Tolkien atlas from John.
After our unwrapping frenzy, we took a walk along the North Sea, which was gorgeous.
Merry Christmas!
Isaac has that "twin babies hold" down perfectly already!
