The Run Up to Christmas



Since we have got back from New York we have thrown ourselves into Christmas preparations including becoming a little too familiar with the Amazon One Click button. Last week we all went to Beth and Ryans school to see Ryan's Virginia Fair performance. All the kids were dressed up in colonial costumes and sang, danced and played the recorder celebrating Virginia's history.

At the weekend we all went to Laura's parents house to have pre Christmas dinner with Chris and Anthony who had flown over for a few days from Chicago. We have also stocked up on some traditional English food for Xmas Day including Christmas cake and pudding and mince pies.

Only 3 sleeps to go....
