a festive weekend!
It has been my main focus this year to make the season of Christmas fun with the simplest of events. Our general holiday is simple, but I have tried to make an effort to create a month of friends and family.
This weekend, our focus was on a bake sale Ellie was a part of through our Parish. I know some people groan at the thought of bake sales, but I love it and think it’s a lost art! Plus, people pay for sweets in a big way…her class raised over $400!
Anyway, we had a ball frosting, packaging, and sampling all the goodies (that’s what it is all about, right?).
Then, we were off to the Christmas tree farm we pass everyday to and from school to pick up our tree!
Never mind the FREEZING temperatures…at one point, when Penny was crying because her hat was falling off and she had no scarf (big sister finally gave up one of her 2!) and Ellie and Simon were not agreeing with our tree choice, I looked at Nathan and said “Let’s go get coffee and buy our tree at Target”…only half way kidding!
Thankfully, everything turned out fine and our tree is truly a festive addition to our living room!
Now our focus is on our ornament making party for Sunday- Fun!
