Christmas 2009

What a whirlwind of a month! We had a wonderful Christmas season. We got to spend a lot of time with our family.




Even had a visit from "Dziadziu Claus"!

All the school parties.

So much excitement that when school was out, we spent most of our break like this.

We were so excited that our break started with a BIG snow! We did a LOT of sledding, built snowforts, had many snowball fights, and built this snowman that was almost immediately tackled and destroyed. At least we got a picture first.

We had a memorable Christmas Eve at Grandmama and Granddaddy's house. A delicious meal, followed by a fun game, the boys' reenactment of the Christmas story as read from Luke...

and a sing-along led by the boys...

Jamestown

Had a great trip to Jamestown over Thanksgiving weekend! The boys LOVED it - especially Tad. We saw the Powhatan Indian Village...

The settlers' fort...

Worked on digging out a canoe like the Indians would have done...

And checked out the ships...
