New Year's Celebration

And here are pictures from our celebrations - from the pre-celebration art-making, all the way through the candle lighting (which happened on new year's day this year). Every year is slightly different and this year Molly led us in a spiral walk (inspired by a solstice walk that she did at school). We walked to the center of the spiral and said something we wanted to let go of, then on the walk out we made a wish for the new year. It was lovely!

New Years Hike

Happy New Year!!

We continued our tradition of a New Year's Day hike yesterday, although this time we took along a princess, fairy, fairy princess, or princess fairy (we never did decide which one she was!). Nouri joined us and Mary and Dieter stayed home to recover from the fun of the evening before (or fend off colds?).
