A candle's light to see us through the winter

One of my favorite parts of the day during the winter season is to light up the candles on our table during dinner. It's gotten so dark at dinnertime now and there is something so warm and reassuring about the candle light coming from the 4 candles that adorn our table. These are not just any 4 candlesticks that adorn our table. Oh no! These four candlesticks were made by the boys these past 2 years in school.


Here is Boy Wonder holding his candlestick that he made at Mtn. School last year. The candle was tall at the begining of the season. It will be time for a new candle soon.

Here we are in Bubba's class lighting this year's new candles in the pretty holders the children have made. Isn't it beautiful? I just love this tradition.

If you were to ask the boys what their favorite part of the candle tradition was they would probably say..blowing them out. Even Emily has learned to blow out a candle thanks to our boys. And that's no small feat for a one year old.

May this winter bring light in your life.

Happy New Year's Eve to all!!
