Howie Comes! and Other Christmas Magic


The morning after Thanksgiving, Howie showed up!!

We did a fun new project of growing candy canes…
First, we painted pots with Christmas colors and glitter.  Next, we added "snow" to our pots 

Then it was time to add in the crushed peppermint and bury it deep in the snow.

And finally we waited… 
Much to our amazement, we woke up to pots full of candy canes (not pictured full because they didn't last long)!  We think Howie had something to do with it because he was sitting close by.  He even decorated our pots with candy cane stickers, too :)   That Howie.  He was up to lots of mischief the month of December.
We also put up our interim Christmas tree.  

 
 
 
…and it couldn't have been more perfect (and if I'm being honest, some days it felt really sad).
