December Happenings

We made a quick stop in at Placerita Nature Center's annual Holiday Craft Fair on Saturday morning, where the girls made one craft each.

I also selected a yule log, which I'll decorate with fake greenery so it can last year after year. We'll put candles in it, and light one each week as we celebrate Advent.
We then met up at The Habit with Michelle, Rob and Brooke, who were nice enough to come out to visit with us. Granary Square had a Christmas event with free cotton candy, which was quite a thrill for some of us.
We then went to the park to play - it's always fun with these guys!
In the evening, the girls went to a Parents Night Out event at Valencia Methodist, and Stace and I enjoyed a date.

We had dinner at the Newhall Refinery with Kelly and Brad, and then went up to the Hart Mansion. The home was decorated for Christmas, treats were served, and the Valencia High Choir was singing Christmas carols. It was a lovely evening.
On Monday, I was one of the lucky two moms to get to accompany Cora's class on a field trip to the Castaic Lake Water Agency. We learned about the process of cleaning and filtering the water that comes to us in SClarita from the state aqueduct.

The children also did an experiment with pond organisms under a microscope.
The kids didn't find it to be the most exciting field trip, but anytime you can leave school in a bus, it's all good.
