Sunday we had our now annual Winter Solstice Party. We ate pizza on the living room floor, drank rootbeer out of fancy wine glasses (the kids love that), and opened presents. We read a story that tells how the winter solstice came about and talked about how we share our light with the world. We made sunshine cupcakes, but no one ate them.
Erik got new Geo trax for his trains, and was really excited about that. He was mad because Taryn got a webkinz until he found his own gecko webkins in a different package.
I was concerned because we had gotten Taryn this beautiful doll at costco, but it was not an american girl like she wanted. But when she opened her she fell in love with Alice and has not left her side (except when Alice is in school, which she was late for today).Overall, it was a fun evening. The kids were so happy with their gifts, which always makes me satisfied.

Merry Winter Solstice! I am glad it was such a success and your kids had a fun time. Thanks again for the ornaments each time I see them on my tree I think of you and your family.
Oh, I am so glad she loved that doll. I was worried too. But it's cute and has definite likeness to American Girl dolls. Want me to write Meet Alice and Happy Birthday Alice for her? We watched the history of Christmas last night and it talked about Winter Solstice and how people used to celebrate the sun god's birthday on Dec 25, I thought of you. It was really interesting. Anyway. Happy Winter Solstice. It looked so fun!
how fun! webkinz are crazy, they are so neat.
Three cheers for the Winterfest of Yore. Let us burn the Yule-Log and drink to the happy return of the sun's ebbed strength!
