We have been blessed to do several new Christmas activities this year; we went to the Richmond Ballet for The Nutcracker for the first time, we saw CYT's A Christmas Story, which was greatly entertaining, and tonight we attended Winterfest at King's Dominion. It was really beautiful but got so, so cold!
Last year I got the basic Willow Tree nativity; this year we added the shepherd and animals. Next year I am hoping for the wise men.
JD made me these two mug racks for the overflow mugs he buys me on travel - they are from wood we had the Amish mill after clearing for our house.
Here is some interesting cauliflower that just came in the farm share box - I'm kind of drowing in strange greens around here that I'm not sure what to do with.
We often have two polar bears relaxing in the living room; Alaska is scared of the wood floor so we put a towel down for him to walk in and out.
We had PJs and pancakes at CC with a book exchange and "minute to win it" games; the kids had a blast.
Today we finally made gingerbread men and sugar cookies; there are still a few dozen awaiting decorating tomorrow.
Tonight Alyssa joined us at King's Dominion Winterfest. This was in front of the Christmas tree at the entrance -- it's so big that you can't tell it is a tree. The lighting isn't good, but it's still the best I got!
See? My other attempts were even worse.
