We had a wonderful day yesterday, a lovely Solstice and Christmas as well.
A dear friend of mine bought us this beeswax cancel for Solstice. Every year we say what we are thankful for and look back on last year’s wish list and make another. It just goes to show the power of intention because most of our wishes from last year came true and we hadn’t even looked at the list we made last year until this Solstice!
I finally got around to finishing my fire cider (all bottled and with a kick!) and doing the third round on my bee balm glycerine. I just love the colour that the glycerine is turning!
I don’t do much baking. I actually hate baking. But I love this cookie press that my mother used to use to make us cookies as kids. It’s dear to my heart and quickly becoming our own tradition.
Christmas Eve is always an exciting time and never passes without reading The Night Before Christmas from this beautiful book! 
Christmas Day proved to be so mild that I was thrilled about not having socks on my feet! Snow is a beautiful thing but I gotta say, bare feet are pretty awesome too!
There are always Christmas Crackers to pop! Oui Oui!
The boys received a few games and we all had a great time with this one. Qwirkle rocks!
Even our little Gypsy received a gift. *I think she likes it!* whispered*
On the 27th we had a storm and the boys took no time in throwing on their layers and getting out there!
Candy cane precision.
We had a wonderful new year celebration just the four of us. The boys stayed up and we rang in the new year together with some Minecraft fireworks that L made. He even made seats for us to sit in to watch the display. I can barely build and they do this! We took a screen shot in front of the banner that Xman made. Here we are in our MC skin glory!
Of course today we had to toast to a wonderful new year! The boys have sparkling peach apple juice and we have mimosas. Yum! 
I am all ready for January! I even painted a calendar for this month and plan on doing one for every month this year. They are sized to fit perfectly into my Leuchtturn1917. Love it! If you want to download a copy for yourself just hop on over to my art blog! 
Here’s to a wonderful 2016 and more posting! 🙂
