1. On Christmas Eve we usually enjoy a quick meal, each child opens one gift, and then we play a game or work on a puzzle together. This year we had adults work on the puzzle and kids playing with their new gifts. It was a very pleasant evening!
Before the festivities, Leo(7) and I made knock-knock jokes for the family: this one was for Mommy.
knock, knock
Who’s there?
Canoe
Canoe who?
Canoe help me make cookies?
I rushed to finish knitting a sweater for Ivy (8):
2. Best of all, SNOW!
There was a snow ball fight and snow creatures built as well… See the rabbit to the left of the monster? He has long ears.
3. I was happy to wake up to sunshine on the 25th
and receive this present!
4. The clematis obelisks are lovely at this time of year!
and the Japanese area looks beautiful in snow too.
5. The hydrangea blooms are beautiful in a new way.
The ornamental grasses are not so decorative now…
6. There is even a bloom to share this time! This is witchhazel Pallida, small and sweet. Do you see the yellow blooms?

Looking forward to the new year!
