Holidays Recently
We’ve been doing plenty of enjoyable vacation actions over the previous few weeks, together with adorning our good little Christmas tree. I used to be a bit overwhelmed enthusiastic about hauling an actual (tall) tree as much as my second ground (whats up pine needles) and likewise didn’t have a stand, so when some neighbors posted a shifting sale and this petite tree was listed for $10, I jumped on it! I’d already checked out some synthetic timber on-line they usually had been throughout $100. I used to be thrilled to take this pre-lit one off their palms! Whereas I do suppose an actual tree has a lot attraction and smells scrumptious, I feel I’m going to stay with this man for a number of years not less than! Tis “my” season for that.
I purchased two units of cabinets off of the identical neighbors, so we now have a wall for the boys’ Lego assortment at any time when it is able to be moved.
Veritas Illuminated
Birch and I did our annual pilgrimage to Veritas Vineyards to see the vacation lights with a bunch of mates! (Mazen coincidentally had a party simply down the street, so the celebs aligned on the drive/timing). The sunshine path is open till January 3 usually on the weekends, however typically different dates so verify their web site! There’s additionally meals and wine within the tasting room.
B completely beloved working by means of the lights! Veritas at all times does a superb job on distinctive options like tunnels, and over-the-head options. There’s additionally vacation music enjoying within the timber!
Afterwards we went into the tasting room for wine and cheese boards!

Sizzling chocolate to heat up!
In our home Elfie hides every night time and Birch seems to be for her every morning. She doesn’t actually make messes, and we don’t have a “children can’t contact her” rule. It’s enjoyable sufficient!
We’ve had three snow days and plenty of two hour delays and it’s not even January but! I’m apprehensive about this winter. On Monday we had a two hour delay “as a result of it was chilly.” Sheesh!
Mazen has been deep into mountain biking and despatched me this image from the pump observe. He’s not fearful of the chilly or mud (like I’m, haha).
Indoor actions have concerned creator Legos and foil artwork.
