Friday night, after we all had our PJ's on.....we realized we hadn't put up our outside lights yet. So we put on our coats and shoes and got to work. Mommy & daddy did most of the work - but everyone enjoyed just hanging out on the front porch together.
Saturday was the ice storm. It seemed like we waited all day for it to begin - but boy, once it did....what a pretty storm! Before it got to us, we enjoyed a little bit of outside time, wrote our letters to Santa, and just did some fun crafts and played games inside where it was warm.
Church was cancelled on Sunday, but we still had plans to join 2 families for their annual Christmas story reading and dinner. I work with Sue, who reads the story every year....she invited us to join her & the Lohr family who owns the farm. We had a yummy dinner together and then headed out to the barn to hear the Christmas story. It was cold & stinky, much like it probably was the night Jesus was born. After the story, Mr. Lohr let the kids bottle feed the calves and we got to check out their new batch of chicks in the chicken house. Then we went inside to warm up and make gingerbread houses....well, graham cracker gingerbread houses. The kids LOVED the entire evening and we can't wait for next year!
