Laughing Moon

Little Man has gotten to the point where I ask him which holiday activities he would like to participate in each year.  One of his favorites happens to be making candy canes at Laughing Moon Chocolates in Stowe.  So every year, we treck to Stowe to pile into a crowded chocolate shop to watch Little Man make a candy cane.  Except, this year, it was not crowded.  The roads getting there were a little snow covered, and the shop had several cancelations for the day.  Not only was it not crowded, but we actually knew some of the other people making candy canes with us.  In fact, Levi knew half of the other kids on the bench with him, and they were having a great time.  It made braving the snow covered road worth it. 

 Due to the lack of people in the shop, there was not a long line of children waiting which gave the parents the opportunity to participate in a friendly compitition of shape the candy cane.  I'll admit, I had help from the candy cane lady, and mine was the best.

Amazing Husband

I have an amazing husband, and every now and then I need to brag about him so that he knows it. 

 

For Thanksgiving this year he made an incredible meal for my family.

 He cares about the details and the little things.  While I was away at bible study this week, he spent two hours in the cold and dark putting up the Christmas lights, so I would see them as I drove home. 

When he knows that I am having a bad day, he brings me flowers to make me smile.

Snow

Grandma gave him new snowshoes, and our neighbor has told us that we can use the field behind our house for snowshoeing (we have never been in the field before).  Little Man has new places to explore, and nothing is going to stop him.
