Gingerbread, Kilkees and Pulla!

Today we were fortunate to taste some more great food.  We had delicious gingerbread cookies, kilkees (kind of like lazy perogies) with a yummy cheese sauce and pulla (sweet bread from Finland spiced with cardamom).  Special thanks to Anne's mom for baking the pulla for us to taste and telling us about how children in Finland celebrate Christmas.

Tomorrow we will be decorating our gingerbread cookies!
