On Saturday, we were invited to the home of Cheyenne for a traditional German Christmas Tree Lighting.
Iver loves candles and fire and was thrilled to take part (even though he didn't believe that the Christmas tree (?silver fir) was a real one (it was in a stand of water!).
Lighting the advent candles
The tree has to be carefully selected so that its branches are sturdy enough and widely enough spaced to accommodate the candles and flames.
Cheyenne was brave to invite several (some wilder than others) kids to her lovely custom-built home (containing a real tree and lit candles!).
We had food and then the kids (oldest to youngest) each read a Christmas story.
Iver did a great job reading "A Christmas Carol" from our anthology.
All lit fires must be extinguished!
