Christmas 2012

For the second year in a row we were able to all be together for Christmas. In fact, with Christmas Eve falling on a Monday, everyone was even able to arrange their schedules so that they could come home on Saturday, which meant a leisurely start to the holidays. We grazed, slept, and laughed; always a good holiday combination. Some practiced their sharp shooting, some watched movies, some planned get-away trips, but it took everyone's input to conquer our family tendancy to over-think things for all of us to reach a 7 year old's mastery-level knowledge of the game Qwirkle! Numbers and shapes; it sounds SO simple...

Sarah's Beach Birthday

Friends and family gathered at Rockaway Beach to help Sarah celebrate her birthday. We played on the beach, lounged in the hot tub, and nibbled home cooking to our hearts content.
