After Daniel missed the snowball fight that ensued between the back porch and into the laundry room, he was more than happy to go out and have a snowball fight with Michael. They barely had on jackets, but at least they wore gloves! JP took pictures, while I huddled near the warmth of the fireplace.
It was mostly melted by the time we settled in for the evening and to mark the Second Sunday of Advent...
Last week, we talked about our family's Jesse Tree yearly Advent tradition. My friend was inspired to make her own. I think they turned out just beautiful!
Yes, I am very well aware that Hanukkah is not a "Jewish" Christmas, but I have always included in our Christmas units anyway. Maybe it's from my school teaching days, but I've always loved teaching about Hanukkah!
Today is the second day of Hanukkah and it's fun to celebrate by lighting the candles every night with our menorah. (that I got for $3 last summer...score!)
