A Solstice Eve party!
This was presented to the little boys as a special dinner and party
celebrating quiet/dark/night.
It was indeed special, but not very quiet :)

Everyone agreed that it looked exactly like our own living room gathering:
fireplace, tree, wreath, family, even the rug !
Meal prep -- everyone helps! Pork tenderloin on the menu.
Mulled wine/cider
And BLUE GLOW STUFF!!!
(If you are a preschooler, you might just explode with excitement!)
Beautiful Yule Log cake by Dave
He truly is our Master Chef!
(Actually both Dave and Jess have occupations
in the hospitality industry)
Fireside -- Lorenzo was entranced and mesmerized!
Lucci and Grandpa opening today's door for Jake's Doggie Advent Calendar treat
(And Jake has BLUE GLOW stuff also!!)
Grandma is happy!
Our 'Village.'
The little boys have enjoyed rearranging things all month!
