This morning marked the first time since the 1600's that a lunar eclipse fell on the Winter Solstice. How auspicious! In honor of this very old holiday, we've made Yule tree cookies! Long live the Pagans! And yesterday, we pulled out all of the presents that have been accumulating in the guest room closet and placed them lovingly under our tree. We have been waiting to put them out so that a certain three-year-old wouldn't spend weeks of torture circumnavigating the packages. Now that they're out, he's very excited for Christmas to come come come!
Walker still has a bit of a cold, but is certainly on the upswing. Charlie is also on the mend from his bout of sniffles and coughs. Here is a video of Walker decorating a cookie for Santa.
After our cookie fest, we headed out doors because Dallas is having a warm snap to the tune of 79 degrees. I wish this town would make its mind up about the weather situation. Sheesh.
And here's Mr. C. Baird sitting up with help from Mama!
Hope your Solstice is merry and bright!

Concentrating on confections! What a great way to celebrate feeling better and the winter Solstice! Yaaayyy the darkest day has passed and light begins to return - if by only minutes a day. Santa will love the cookies.
