Family photo archives

Lots to say about the holidays this year, but it will wait for another post!  ;-0


One of the most fun things was that my sister scanned in a whole bunch (seriously, like 190+) old family photos.  So I just have to share a few... more in other posts, I'm sure!

My maternal grandparents, Ian and Helen Knott

Irish Dance/Festival of Trees

Miss D started Irish Dancing this fall.  Her school performed at the Festival of Trees on December 4th, and she was invited to join them.  This was her very first performance.  She was on stage all of about 30 seconds (and I missed most of it fiddling with GPa Larry's camera, trying to get a picture.  This was the best of the bunch...

Miss D is the one in the center of the pic.  The girls in the fancy dresses behind her (those are our school dresses) are more advanced dancers.

This is Miss D with her two teachers.

And here she is with the flowers her Gpa Larry brought for her!

Thanksgiving 2010 (Part 2)

After attending the Community Thanksgiving, we got home and the weather was just spectacular.  We had had some great early-season snow (courtesy of the Blizzard of 2010), and we decided to get out all the skis and open the Casa Llamedos Ski Resort!

We skied down our driveway, down to the neighbors' driveway, then wrote the Pilot lift up to our other neighbors' property, skied down the hill a few times, then back up the driveway two more times to ski down to yet another neighbor's driveway.  All in all, we took about 6 or 7 runs and had a grand old time skiing our driveway and the hills and roads of the subdivision!

This is everyone getting ready...

This is Miss D, skiing down from one neighbor's driveway to  the other neighbor's driveway.

This is Daddy J, skiing from a neighbor's driveway down the hill and up the hill again!

And here is M-Moo skiing down the driveway.

Somehow I didn't get any of K-Wiggles skiing, but she was out there too!

And this is a photo of the Pilot Lift!
