Monday was the only day with enough snow to build a snowman. Strangely enough, it was not the day school was canceled. That was Thursday. The forecast was for lots of snow, but it mostly rained. The forecast spooked the school district into closing. The snow in the photo had all melted by noon on Monday.
We put together a gingerbread train this week. We pulled a frightening amount of candy out of the pantry to decorate it with. Each person decorated a train car, except Helen who wanted to decorate the witch's house from Hansel and Gretel. "But this is the nice witch who lets Hansel and Gretel water her plants and flowers and then they go inside and have hamburgers and french fries for dinner."
We corralled Gibson in his high chair with a limited amount of frosting and candy. We don't have a photo of the finished train-- it's all about the process (and the candy) anyway.
Brandan's medical assistant gave us a puzzle which we've been working on for a few days. We haven't seen one like it before. The pieces on the outside are big and then get smaller as you move to the middle, designed so that all ages of a family can work on it together. It's hard to walk by the puzzle without stopping and trying to fit a few pieces together.
It's the season for shipping packages which means bubble wrap! The kids enjoyed hopping on some scraps Sunday morning.
No photos here, just news-- our family sang a duet with another family (well, 13 people total, hardly a duet) in our ward's Sacrament Meeting Christmas program. We sang "When Joseph Went to Bethlehem." The kids looked super cute, although we're not sure anyone beyond the organist could hear us.

We could hear you! It sounded beautiful. I really enjoyed how the Christams Program was put together, I loved hearing all of the families sing, although, you couldn't see the smallest member of your family, he must have been hidden behind the organ!
You have such a beautiful family! I am glad the Christmas program went so well.
