For the month of November, the Cropchocolate.com focus group's challenge was "Traditions". I decided to finally scrap photos of our last New Year's morning, when we ate some ozoni. We're a pretty relaxed family when it comes to traditions, but I simply CANNOT begin a new year without making this for breakfast! This past year, it was the 4th day after my ACL surgery, but I still managed to hobble around the kitchen, making the soup. :)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! We spent a very relaxing week in Palm Desert, thoroughly enjoying the sunshine... Marika's soccer team finally ended their season (the day we left), so I was able to de-compress from that stress. Mika's team clinched first place (yay!) and will have their playoffs next Saturday. They've already clinched a berth to advance to out-of-area play, which won't begin until January. DaddyDude says I should stop coaching after this, because I'll never have a better team - he's absolutely right, this is a "Dream Team" on many levels - and hopefully things will work out with the girls, so that I won't "have" to coach anymore, either.
