Christmas Eve 2019

Finally!  We drove down to Salem around noon (no traffic at all!!!) on Tuesday for Christmas Eve!  We finally all got to snuggle baby Toby (so precious)!  Ezra came with us and we stayed in a hotel with a pool (!) The kids got along better than ever, and it was a wonderful day!

Hanukkah 2019

We celebrated this year with a brush fire, latkes, challah and opening some awesome presents! 

Winter Solstice 2019

We celebrated Winter Solstice with our next door neighbor's in the morning- decorating a tree with goodies and decorations for the wild animals!  Then my coworker Holli had a solstice/ornament making party that night. Bring on the longer days!  

Pre-party baking.   Butter nibbles are now a tradition?

Pre- Christmas Fun!

First my work party at Ferreli's Pizza in Dupont, good turn out and super fun.  Then Isla's preschool holiday party complete with a performance of Jingle Bells!  We also did Santa pictures at the mall and made a gingerbread house!  The countdown was real!  What a busy month!
