Litha Family celebration

For Litha this year we took the kids out for Braums ice cream and spent family time together. Then we cam home and the kids and I made sun catchers. We used wax paper(2 pieces) & crayola shavings(in the middle of the wax paper).

Then took an iron to it and of course the shavings melt into an awesome work of art. Then they cut it out in the shape of a sun.

And hole punched it in one of the sun beams, ran a string through the hole and attached some beads.

And the finished product...

A unique work of art and a happy kid

He even hung it out side.

Heres my oldest working on his

And his finished product...

I also copied a Litha pictureoff line for them to color and hang in their rooms. Eric was soooo proud of his.

We also did a family ritual and talked about what makes our family special. It was really nice. I totally forgot the camera during the ritual otherwise there would pics of that too. Darn it. Maybe next time.
But we finished it with some Litha No-Bake Fairy Cakes and apple juice. We of course fed the fairies first then had ours.

Then it was off to bed for good dreams.
