The festivities this week continued with caroling at the nursing home down the street, a homeschooling holiday party, and SNOW!! The kids love making snow-cones with it, Quinn likes walking around in it, and Declan’s enjoying the sledding and a taste of cross-country skiing around our woods!
How do the chickens like the snow, you ask? Yeah, um, not so much. They huddled under the overhang of the roof out back during the first storm and had no idea how to get back to their coop after it stopped. The chickens experiencing their first snow were completely confused, perched on the fence, hid under the coop, anywhere their feet didn’t have to touch the white stuff. The older girls who have done this before scurried into the coop as soon as Mike shoveled a path for them. During the second storm, I don’t think any of them ventured outside at all!
Declan had a great time caroling and dancing around!
Quinn loves “Jingle Bells” and “Frosty The Snowman” the best!
We had a good turnout this year for the caroling, with a nice mix of ages. One of the residents put on her own Santa hat and joined us as we walked around the nursing home. She was so happy to be around the children.
