🏷️ holiday

I'm pretty anti-holiday in general but a certain person in my life loves holidays. These were waiting for me at the office this morning. Purple irises are my favorite flower. :-)

@tinypliny now has no excuse for not checking out xmas lights. :-)

Jill, Kelly & I judged the houses lit up for Christmas last night. Here are some shots of the best.

Most Christmas Spirit


An org that I'm secretary of bought new decorations for Main Street. We've taken 2-3 years to make this decision. I'm glad it's done and the lights are cute. They're smaller than I had hoped but the next option was $1100 each instead of $325ish.

I'm helping jill wrap presents. Santa got Shane a bleeding zombie target. And Liam is getting a remote controlled flying clown fish. Who knew such things existed?? (at the same time, I'm grateful for my non consumerist life)

All I want for Christmas is...

• this hat I think a 7 1/2 in charcoal would be perfect.

• these slippers size 9

Thanks, Santa!

Love,

Heidi

@flacidness carved his first pumpkin! Beautiful job, TK! Also Nick made pumpkin seeds. Yum! :-)

The family had thanksgiving dinner today. After dinner, A and I took all six kids to see Puss in Boots at the historic Victoria Theatre. ($5 for adults, $3 for kids under 12 and two already had free passes for getting good grades so $28 for 8 people. Concessions are super cheap too.) Then we played Qwirkle. I know what I'm getting someone for xmas.

The family. Louie had to work and Josh is in Massachusetts with his grandparents. Of course we're missing Andrea a lot.
