Dancing Photos

  Trying to decide whether to post the videos from the last dance or just wait until the Christmas ball.  By the way, if anyone has any creative ideas on how I could get some good camera angles  at the ball (especially shots from above) please let me know!  I’d like to rig something up that will be above everyone’s heads.

Purple belts!

Parade & Properties

  This evening we braved the blistery weather and gathered along Main Street for a Christmas parade!

We went with our long time friends, the La Motte family.

After the parade we headed to their house to have some snacks and play games, specifically “Mayberry-opoly!”

We had a great game with an immense amount of wheelin’ and dealin’ and negotiatin’. (For the Monopoly gurus: Benjamin was able to get the Park Place and Boardwalk equivalent properties and built hotels on each.  I think they were landed on more than a dozen times and it made all 5 opponents either go bankrupt or withdraw. )

We also played the game that taught us all we know about Spanish, “Uno!”

We had a great time, but the evening soon turned into early morning and it was time to go home!

Roller Blading

   This Saturday afternoon we did some roller skating at a rink nearby.  When we were younger we used to go quite often, but it had been 4-5 years since we had roller skated because we’d mostly ICE skated during that time.  It was great to hit the rink again and we nearly had the whole place to ourselves.  This skating rink had been around for a very long time, in fact, I had my 7th Birthday party here and Kate did too!
