A Glimpse Into Our Week
This week we have been busy checking off our holiday to-do list! Here is a glimpse into what we have been up to:
- Listening to lots of holiday music (mostly on Pandora)
- Enjoying the first (and hopefully not last) snow of the winter!
- Making peppermint bark
- Watching a few favorite holiday movies
- Making these 3-D paper snowflakes
- Seeing the lights at the Oregon Zoo (and hopefully a couple more light displays before the week is up!)
- Bringing a few small toys to our local fire department for their annual toy drive
- Decorating sugar cookies with some of Finn's new friends from school
- And mostly, trying to get everyone healthy so that we can enjoy our holiday together!!

The It's-Almost-Christmas Yarn Along
Joining in with Ginny at Small Things for this week's Yarn Along... the last Yarn Along before Christmas! Right now I am finishing up a couple of fingerless mitten for the kids, which will actually be a solstice present for Friday. I am hoping to knit up a hat for Finn and finish Phoebe's tiny tea leaves sweater before Christmas..... but, if I don't, I am not going to stress. Boxes galore have been arriving in the mail- presents from our family who all live far away- so I know that the kids will have plenty to keep them busy on Christmas morning (and a hat and a sweater will probably be the least exciting of the gifts!).
I finished up the book that I was reading last night, and am torn between starting a book that I already have at home or waiting to start a book that I have on hold at the library and should get in the next day or two. Decisions, decisions....
What are you reading? What are you knitting? Hope you all finish up your holiday knitting in time!! Pin It Now!
