Pictures from the Vorimo pikkujoulu Party

I'm not so good at formatting the pictures using this blog feature. But I wanted to include a few more pictures from the pikkujoulu party. There were lots and lots of candles inside and outside of the house. The sun is rising sometime around 9:30AM and setting before 3:30PM here in the Helsinki area. So people use candles often to add light to their days. But the Vorimo house sparkled.

Also, they have spent many years living and working in Frankfurt, Germany and collected some wonderful Christmas artifacts from there. One of their collection is a model of a German Christmas market with many little pieces. This year she put it on a shelf above the steps that go down to the lower level of their home which mad it inaccessible to little children and was a disappointment to the grandchildren.


Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the refreshment table before we started to eat. But shown here is a pasta and vegetable salad. A Fazer gel Christmas tree. And some German almond pretzel cookies with marzipan filling that were to die for. In the foreground of the picture above is a brie covered with a caramel nut topping.
