Winter Solstice 2008

A family tradition Chris and I started with our family, is celebrating Winter Solstice. It is a fun little tradition, and helps tide the kids over til Christmas. This year I made a snowman pinata, and we filled it with tons of goods, I made sock and gloves stuffed animals for their gifts. Also we made bird feeders out of pine cones that we covered in peanut butter and rolled in bird seed. We also had a delicious dinner and each person got their own bird, either cornish game hen or quail. We had some friends of ours come over this year to celebrate with us. It really was a fun night. I posted a few pictures of our evening.
