Slice of Life: Christmas Storytime!

Today I join my fellow bloggers in "serving up a slice" 

to the Tuesday Slice of Life (SOL) community.

Thanks to Stacey, Tara, Betsy, Dana, Beth, Anna, Kathleen, and Deb

for hosting this meeting place each Tuesday and nurturing our writing lives.

Books ready for sharing!

Storytime!

It's something I'd wanted to do for several years:  invite some young friends over for stories and cookies.  I finally squeezed it into the schedule last year.  And now, it's a new tradition!  Take the shortest day of the year, pull out a few favorite Christmas books, bake some cookies, and add four lovely ladies (with memories from last year's party when we had a scavenger hunt for some treats).  We started with stories, stopped for hot chocolate, cookies, and warm homemade bread (contributed by Mallory,) and improvised with a lively game of "Find the Baby Jesus," 
(it's okay, he's wooden)!

Incredible Imi!

Sometimes you just have to touch and toot!

Parting shot on the stairs!
And a parting comment from Kilee on the way to the car:
"That was awesome!"
Thanks, Kilee, I totally agree!
