"Don't you Smile"

"Don't you smile!" in her most serious voice

This was how my dear grandmother used to get us to smile (and laugh) every time. Try it today..it works like a charm :)

Godspeed Grandma..I love you

Pomander Balls, Santa

Have you made pomander balls before? They are lots of fun and easy for the kids; they smell wonderful too! We use clementines (they have a softer peel) Simply poke cloves all around and roll in cinnamon and nutmeg. Apples work nicely as well :)

Jacob decorated the tree near our library this weekend with his hand painted airplane.

Does Santa know what a "build your own lightsaber is??"


This is what happens when you let a 6 year old boy loose with the camera :)

Thank you for your "help" with the leaves Molly!
