Presents from Finland!

Part of the excitement Christmas Eve came from gifts Laura had sent from Finland.  After the homemade dark chocolate and hand-picked-lignon-berry confection was passed around, each family received a Finnish Christmas card, a traditional bird ornament, a Finland magnet, and a Finland puzzle.  Clare loved the Finland puzzle.  She helped turn the pieces over and then insisted I build it on the floor instead of on the cardboard backing. 

I had to include this last picture because when I said, "Smile, Clare!" this is what she thought she should do.
