Calm Before the Storm - Santa and Candy Cane Lane

Well.... in anticipation of the "bomb cyclone" that was headed towards west Michigan (blizzard conditions, high snow accumulation) PPS announced at noon today that school would be closed on Friday.  So winter break started a day early!  Since it was’t snowing after school, we went downtown to see the lights and visit with Santa.  Alex knew that this close to Christmas we might just get one of Santa’s helper.  He was able to share his list and they both mailed their lists to the North Pole.  Due to the approaching storm, Starbucks was closed.  So instead of hot chocolate, we went to a place that features 28” pizzas and shared a few slices.  Then we wandered down the mall and Candy Cane Lane as the snow started to fall.  When we got home, the boys did their annual candy cane hunt and we watched a holiday movie.
