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!

What a lovely party. You set a pretty table, everything looks wonderful. I miss the days when my Grands were little and I was able to see them all the time. Now that they are older and have a larger circle of exposure, they are staying away from me for my protection, but some days it seems too high a price to stay healthy. Hoping families everywhere are able to be back together soon.
What a fabulous idea! You have a beautiful family
Looks like you all had such a wonderful time. Seeing it all through the eyes of children just makes it all the more special. Hopefully we'll all get to do this next year.
