(December 28) Today is National Card Playing Day! I taught my kids how to play rummy. After one round of playing with everyone's cards on the table, they picked up the idea and ran with it.

I have very fond memories of playing cards with my sister and friends while growing up. Games just seem to bring everyone together (even if it gets intense!).

Star Wars Snowflakes

December 27 was National Cut Out Paper Snowflakes Day, so we have decorated our enchanted ceiling, windows, and a garland with snowflakes!

We made Star Wars snowflakes from the patterns found HERE.

THIS SITE has more designs and shows how to fold the paper base.

My children needed help with the folding, and some only cut out the basic outlines, but all had fun. A few even created their own characters!
