Our snow day....

By Friday morning, the snow was falling fast and furious. The plows hadn't come by and our street was completely snow drifted in. Thankfully DH decided not to drive to work and took the day off. He spent a great deal of it just snow blowing driveways.

I stayed in baking bread, cookies, knitting, and listening to Christmas tunes.

The boys played out in the snow until their clothes were drenched. They spent the afternoon playing video games with the Posse.

By afternoon the snow had stopped and our street was finally plowed. I don't know what our official total was, but with the plowing and drifting its almost up to our mailbox. I'm sure during the next couple of days the boys will be able to dig cool tunnels in it.

Our wonderful neighbors across the street gave us tickets to the Christmas Carol. We had never seen the stage production before. We all really enjoyed it.

I'm regretting not bringing my camera though. I didn't think taking photos would be allowed so I left it home. While sitting waiting for the show to begin, in walks this guy wearing a Santa hat and Christmas lights strung through his beard!! Around his neck he wore a garland string of tiny presents. He did turn off the beard once the show began.

On an interesting unschooling note, the woman who played the Ghost of Christmas Past, Georgina McKee, was an Unschooler! Her mom is Alison McKee, author of  Homeschooling Our Children, Unschooling Ourselves.

Today we are heading out to finish up Christmas shopping. I'll have to start wrapping tonight or I'll be overwhelmed.
