School was canceled.
Her brother followed right after, equally glad for a day off.
And then the fun began:
- the first annual snowball throw, done in pajamas without coats and hats, very quickly;
- homemade sourdough biscuits with butter and honey;
- a "baked" chicken in the slow cooker for their favorite chicken, rice, and gravy dinner;
- cutting snowflakes and hanging them around the house, with one hung over the Doctor Who Christmas Village as the Racnoss's web star;
- making red and green paper chains and draping them across the windows;
- the traditional call to Gommie and Pop announcing the snow--today this included a holiday music serenade with piano, cello, and violin;
- heading outside for snowballs and other fun--the kids could get into their snow outfits all by themselves!!
- making a "snow Dalek";
- no snow ice cream though--leaves and bits from the trees kept falling in the bowls;
- receiving an early birthday gift from neighbor Miss K--a pumpkin spice latte for me and hot chocolate for the kids;
- and now, listening to Christmas carols while playing Minecraft and crocheting (right after I post);
- later, popcorn and maybe a movie!
It's not a lot of snow, but it doesn't get much better than this.
