Ski Trip 2010

Sorry it took so long to upload, but this was our Sugar, NC ski trip. :D

Florida trip 2010

In spite of cool windy weather, the children enjoyed the ocean.

still looks like winter

We came home from Florida to find lots of snow and trees down... but we were very lucky that not too much damage was done, and our driveway had been cleared (after 15 tries by our friend to get up the steep driveway with 3 feet of snow on top of ice).

Just need Junior!!

Let's go sailing!!

Papa in the window!

Skating on the lake!

Even Nana made it down to the Lakeside...

Lots of skating and hockey went on....

Dave and Kiernan went across the whole lake and back...

Marie Siobhan and Neil and Christmas Tree

This is our Christmas tree this year! Note Bermuda decoration at my right shoulder....

This picture is Rosie with her new ballet tutu finery from her Oma and Gramps for Hanukkah. Hope you like it!

Here's our Christmas tree. We had a little sledding party here on Gaudete Sunday with our friends the Towne family, then went to Hurd's Family Farm in Clintondale to cut down the tree.

And here are Dave and Max with the tree in its natural state, before we killed it for Christmas ;-)

Hope you are all having a joyous and blessed Advent in preparation for a Holy Christmas!

O King of nations, and their Desired, the Cornerstone who makes all one: come and save our race, whom you formed out of clay. (traditional "O" antiphon for the octave before Christmas)
