Martin Luther King Day in Warwick




Aren't Federal Holidays great? It"s the best when everyone can take a day off and spend some time together. This holiday we spend at Warwick castle. We loved the day. It was filled with a pageant playground, stories of battles and sword fights, a chance to meet the falconer, tours, more stories and lots pictures. It was a wonderful adventure. We had a great time exploring this awesome castle....estate. It was fun to see how they lived in midevil times as well as more recent times. The kids loved listening to a sweet German tour guide that couldn't stop talking. She gave us some great insights to the home and let us take a picture with the queen. My favorite was the picture with Henry the IIIV (look how it turned out...it wasn't planned.)

A Quiet Christmas





This year we had a very quiet Christmas. We celebrated with our little family and a good friend named Christina. We had our the traditional breakfast complete with casserole and pancakes. The kids had a great time opening their presents and couldn't wait to play all their new games. We missed having family around. We love you guys.









Christmas Eve and The Nutcracker




For Christmas Eve Jarom and I decided to surprise the kids with a trip to London to see the Nutcracker. It was a beauitful day. We had a peaceful bus ride and enjoyed all the wonderful sights. The Ballet was great.
