Snow and ice have been making life fun here....If it wasn't for internet shopping with free shipping, I would be way behind in getting ready for Christmas! The ducks have been out all day playing in the snow. The black one is having a bad feather day now from constantly picking the snow out of its feathers.

I went to the Festival of Nativities today with my friends. It is amazing! Every year it gets better. I posted a slide show of some of my favorites. They have different choirs, bands, handbell groups and other groups perform in the chapel. They also have two rooms set up for kids. One has crafts to make and stories. The other has a stable and nativity scenery and clothes for the kids to dress up in to do a live nativity. The main cultural hall is filled with all kinds of nativities that you could imagine and another room is set up like a log cabin with children's and country craft-type nativities.
