Weekend on the Farm

We had a beautiful weekend on Megan and Keith's farm. Thanks again to Megan and Keith for sharing themselves and their slice of heaven with us. We got quite relaxed and cozy there, sharing in each other's leftovers from Thanksgiving. Megan always has lots of fun stuff around for the kids to play with and we enjoy sleeping in the Hawthorne Room and the River Room. We were super-spoiled, as usual, with yummy cocktails and mocktails at cocktail hour and homemade treats such as biscuits Megain whipped out on Sunday morning. Saturday night Arlene made the most amazing pizzas (using Megan's secret recipe). I'm going to try to reproduce them soon. Richard taught Lucy to make Japanese lanterns out of paper. You can see in the last picture that she has mastered this skill. The lanterns are now decorating our Christmas tree, set over the white lights as Richard had suggested.

Pictures coming soon of our tree, which the kids picked out on Sunday after we got home. Jasper and Lucy were so happy last night as Rob brought down all the Christmas decorations and they cranked up the Christmas tunes as they decorated the tree. Jasper kept wondering when we were going to "trim" the tree...

Jasper is covering his ears in the first couple of pictures because we were near the guys who were using chainsaws to chop up dead trees for firewood. Lucy helped them unload.
