Holly, Jolly December '15

I can't believe December is coming to a close, let alone 2015!
In December...

• We went to the O's Christmas party and hosted one here as well. 
• Dan and I had a date night to see the play Aladdin. 
• Nick went on a field trip to see Aladdin and my class went on a field trip to Benjamin Tree Farm.
• I went to my staff party and out with my soccer team to celebrate the season.  
• I went for my annual dinner to Ennio's with M and K. 
• Nathan had his 18 month shots.
• Swimming wrapped up for Nick.
• We traveled to Kingston for an amazing Christmas!  
• We saw Star Wars!
• I had a coffee date with my friend E.
• The B's are coming for New Years Eve tonight!

Wishing everyone an amazing 2016! I'm going to continue reducing carbs (my vice) and I'm determined to read more for fun.

Ribbon Christmas Trees

It's been a while since I shared a craft or teaching activity so here is a super easy craft to wrap up the Christmas season. Pun intended! 

You will need:

• A variety of ribbon (greens/reds/whites) cut a variety of lengths
• Scissors 
• Thick twigs
• Twine/string
• Glue gun

All you do is tie the strings around the twig and leave spaces in between. Make sure the shortest ones are at the top and then they get longer as they go down. You can trim with scissors afterwards. Then glue on the string/twine with hot glue. This would make a great home made gift! I may keep this in mind for next year!
