Ice day #2

Last Friday was an ice day from school, but today turned out to be an ice day of a different kind.  More than 600 churches were closed today, including ours.  Dan and his team had put in many extra hours to prepare several new Bluegrass arrangements of Christmas carols for this morning's service.  To say that Dan was disappointed would be an understatement.  We tried to make the best of it, however, and have a little fun at home.

Thanks to our friend Kelly's recommendation on her blog, we gave the self-timer on our camera a try.  It worked like a charm!  The flashing green light was totally mesmerizing and we wound up with some good pictures after only three tries!

We decided to take a silly picture too, which is definitely one of my favorites!

We also started what may turn into a yearly tradition, the making and decorating of a gingerbread house!  We had a kit from a Christmas or two ago (don't worry, we won't be eating any of it!) and finally gave it a go.  We had a lot of fun!

 

 

 

Although we still wish we had been able to have church this morning, it turned into a pretty great day after all!
