Hello, Friends. How was your week? If you celebrate Hanukkah – did you have a nice time? Are you excited for Solstice and Christmas? Have you finished your holiday shopping? Did you purchase or give green gifts? Did you use green gift wrap? Questions, questions, questions.
My weekend starts early today at noon with Eben’s class holiday party, complete with games of dreidel and pass the present, a recycled white elephant book party and s’mores making. (Eben’s teacher brings everything to make s’mores including canned heat to melt the marshmallows.) How fabulous is that? The holiday party will be followed by a viewing of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, popcorn and a holiday sing a long. Whew! That is a lot for one afternoon, no?
Tonight will begin by lighting the last candle of Hanukkah and enjoying another fabulous meal together, followed by Hanukkah stories, Eben’s last night of present opening and another round of Super Mario Brothers on Wii. Eben and I will be in Utah spending time with our entire family for the holidays. (I will update you on all the fun Utah happenings while we are there.) Unfortunately, the mister has to work and will be staying home. Boo.
What are your weekend plans?
P.S. Have you entered to win all of the goodies in The 12 Days of Etsy? There are still a lot of goodies up for grabs.
Have a great weekend!!
Hi Terri,
I will, you have a lovely weekend too.

So sorry to hear that hubby can’t go to Utah with you, but I do hope that you and Eben have fun! Your week sounds full of fun and I am glad to hear you enjoyed yourselves! Our solstice today has been wonderful. I am currently baking some fresh bread to go with the smoked gouda fondue and apples for tonight’s meal. We exchanged gifts this morning and I loved all I got and so did he. WONDERFUL solstice!
