Merry!

Some of the reasons I love December....

Happy little elves in Santa hats.
Homemade snowflakes.

Gingerbread cookies made at school. Holiday love notes to teachers.
Festive outfits for parties at school.

An innie and an outie

I have one child that absolutely loves the outdoors. She would stay out all day long if I let her.I have another child that loves the outdoors (in moderation). He is all revved up to go and likes all the activities but.....

Shick Boom! He's done.

An aside. I had a very Martha Stewart'esque moment in the midst of building a snow fort. I made these cute little luminaries along our driveway and walkway. They serve no purpose and I will probably never light them (except this one for this picture). The picture doesn't really capture how cool they look...kind of like glowing snow when lit. They sure would be cute if I was having a holiday party or something.

On a zero degree day this little girl stayed cozy warm.
