Darby's holiday party

I stopped by Darby's holiday party yesterday, where he decorated and ate a cookie, played bingo and pinned the nose on Rudolph.

Lost tooth

Zada lost her first tooth today! She's bringing it to school, as is the custom.

Snow buddies

The kids are getting a good amount of playtime in the snow this week. Here they are giving a two-shovel salute.

Sprinkles with Sophie

Zada's first-grade neighbor friend, Sophie, came over to help decorate cookies today. If you're sad about missing it, the sprinkles will likely be rolling around my kitchen for the next month, though I doubt the cookies will make it to the weekend.

Bump on a log

On our snowiest December day I have spent the last six hours sitting and knitting. The good news is, having my hands occupied cuts down on my holiday snacking. The bad news is, when I do take a break, I am like a bear waking from hibernation, crashing around the kitchen looking for sustenance.

Holidazzle fun

Fleisch and fam's surprise visit

My friend, Fleisch, stopped by Saturday with her kids and hubby in tow. The kids had a whale of a time.
