Yesterday was the annual Holiday Fair at the Denver Waldorf School so we spent most of the day there. When we arrived there was a photographer setting up in Anna’s classroom and so we spontaneously did some family photos. They came came out really well – probably the best we have had as a family.

At the fair there was lots of crafty things to do – Anna made a crown that she wore proudly all day and Jude made some candles from hot bees wax.

We also bought our Christmas tree at the fair and put it up when we got home. It was a team effort although Marcy did most of the work. And Anna just loved helping out with the decorating.

And here is the tree in all its glory.

It has been so cold in Denver this week. The last five days have been below freezing every day and we even dipped below zero a few nights. So, there has not been much outside time. So, when the sun came out this afternoon we decided to take advantage and head to the playground. But Anna wanted to stop and build a snow castle on the way.

Finally, just before I started writing this post tonight Jude came downstairs with some big news. He had lost another tooth – and this one was one of his top teeth. It had been more than three months since his previous tooth came out and he was super excited. He pulled it out by himself in our bedroom with Marcy cheering him on. He was so excited he literally couldn’t stop jumping up and down.
