Week In Review

This past week was filled with Christmas wonder. Last weekend we went to the local Christmas Parade. We live in quite a small town so the parades usually don't last that long but with increasing popularity more and more people are becoming interested in joining in on the fun. 

This year the parade lasted 40 minutes! 

Chock full of candy, the streets were lined with unclaimed goodies as we left- there was waaaay more candy than kids this year- the last parade we went to was the complete opposite- between three of my kids, only 6 pieces were collected. 

This year we had more candy than we knew what to do with- soooo, we used the candy to decorate their gingerbread houses- and there was still plenty of candy to spare after they finished their masterpieces!

The highlight of the week (besides the fact we've had our first snowfall- good packing snow too!) was the PHCC Patriot Player's Christmas Spectacular.

Several of our local homeschoolers were in it so my kids really wanted to go and see them perform- 

it was amazing, we loved it!

Where Is Christmas?

Presently we are snowed in and haven't been able to do everything we were planning this weekend, but of course the kids are complaining but building snow forts, snowmen and making snow ice-cream!
