Holidays Recently
We’ve been doing a lot of enjoyable vacation actions over the previous few weeks, together with adorning our excellent little Christmas tree. I used to be a bit overwhelmed eager about hauling an actual (tall) tree as much as my second ground (good day pine needles) and in addition didn’t have a stand, so when some neighbors posted a transferring sale and this petite tree was listed for $10, I jumped on it! I’d already checked out some synthetic timber on-line they usually have been throughout $100. I used to be thrilled to take this pre-lit one off their palms! Whereas I do suppose an actual tree has a lot attraction and smells scrumptious, I believe I’m going to stay with this man for a couple of years at the very least! Tis “my” season for that.
I purchased two units of cabinets off of the identical neighbors, so we now have a wall for the boys’ Lego assortment every time it is able to be moved.
Veritas Illuminated
Birch and I did our annual pilgrimage to Veritas Vineyards to see the vacation lights with a gaggle of associates! (Mazen coincidentally had a celebration simply down the street, so the celebrities aligned on the drive/timing). The sunshine path is open till January 3 usually on the weekends, however generally different dates so test their web site! There may be additionally meals and wine within the tasting room.
B completely cherished working via the lights! Veritas all the time does a superb job on distinctive options like tunnels, and over-the-head options. There may be additionally vacation music enjoying within the timber!
Afterwards we went into the tasting room for wine and cheese boards!

We went to lots of the retailers downtown to seek out their hiding elf. B cherished it!
Scorching chocolate to heat up!
In our home Elfie hides every night time and Birch seems for her every morning. She doesn’t actually make messes, and we don’t have a “youngsters can’t contact her” rule. It’s enjoyable sufficient!
We have now had three snow days and plenty of two hour delays and it’s not even January but! I’m nervous about this winter. On Monday we had a two hour delay “as a result of it was chilly.” Sheesh!
Mazen has been deep into mountain biking and despatched me this image from the pump monitor. He’s not petrified of the chilly or mud (like I’m, haha).
Indoor actions have concerned creator Legos and foil artwork.

Concert events For Good
Talking of ice, I went to see native celeb Michael Coleman jam out in a storage live performance. Sure, an out of doors live performance in below-freezing temps! Thank goodness they’d heaters. The live performance benefited Stepping Stone Charlottesville.
