The day started off with a little drive. The snow was so beautiful, the branches were like an ice cave, a canopy over the road.

| a stand of pines |
 |
| some pretty red berries |
The boys built a snow ramp to ramp their sleds.
Zero chased them.
Then I got to work! It was Christmas candy making day! I did have a little help on one batch.

| Rich and Ethan working |
 |
| Wesley pretending to help |
 |
| M&M pretzel candies, Rich's favorite |
I made the rest of the candy myself.
 |
| Swiss Caramels, Ethan's favorite |
 |
| English Toffee (my fave) |
 |
pumpkin custard (for Wesley since
he missed it at Thanksgiving) |
 |
| Pecan Pralines (my second fave) |
 |
Apparently, I failed to take a photo of
the fudge, except on Wesley's face.
He said it was great. |
Maybe this weekend I'll tackle the Oreo truffles. I had to stop when the power went out. Couldn't keep up with the dishes. Then I finished my book and started the next one in the series. All in all it was a great day!
