December 2010

You know December is here when the Temple and Visitor's Center are all lit up.


Our ward Christmas party was the first week-end. There were dancers, singers, and the nativity players. Can you find Ken?

And Tammy?

The next week-end we celebrated Bill's birthday by making Sand Tart cookies and then going to dinner.




Very busy, intent elves.


We had snow, several inches, and lots of wind.

November 2010

We started the month with a three day trip to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Drove up on a rainy Thursday--checked into our hotel and spent the evening being grandparents to Rhys, Ben & Desi.

Three goofy kids!!

Friday we went to the new (2008) National Park Visitor's Center. It is really nice--good film, museum and circlarama.

We also visited the Eisenhower Farm.

That afternoon we wandered around downtown Gettysburg and soaked up the historical buildings and monuments.

That evening we saw "My Fair Lady" presented by Gettysburg College--Eric was in charge of the set and staging. It was a great production!!

Saturday was the twins's birthday and they had a "Pirate and Princess" party.

The whole month we enjoyed incredible fall colors in Pennsylvania and around our home in Virginia.

Thanksgiving was quiet--Bill, Carol & Pam. On Friday--Rich, Pat, Joanne, Chris and his two boys, Caleb & Ethan came for a visit.

On Sunday Eric & Jenni and group, joined the Virginia Dixons and we had dinner that night--no photos, though!
