Simple Celebration

There are few things I love as much as I love simply being with my children.  This evening we turned off the t.v., turned on some Christmas music and made popcorn.

We threaded some string on tapestry needles because they're not as sharp pointy as other needles.

And we made popcorn and cranberry (or friendberry as my daughter calls them) garland

To not call it bliss would be a lie.  The kids loved it.  We loved it.  And we spent an hour doing it!  Yes an hour just hanging out, laughing and chatting.

And because we were worried our sweet little dog would be inclined to try to munch on our creations we decided to hang them on our Charlie Brown tree outside for our bird friends.
