The first snow day

 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.

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!
