Candlelight Christmas Part 2

They had pioneer dancing in the school house. NO ONE really wanted to do this, but I was excited and made everyone do it.
The pictures are blurry, but we learned the Virigina Reel. I was partners with Evelyn, the boys were partners, and Ryan was with Adeline. Everyone said it was REALLY FUN! Yeah! I knew it would be fun from reviews I read that kids really liked it.



Collin and Liam doing the "sashay" down the middle.

Here we are seeing a Christmas print getting printed at the print shop.

Lots of work to print Christmas cards and letters.

Playing a quick game of tic tac toe. It was SO nice to have all my kids not fighting and engaged. It was REALLY NICE.

Here we are making our candles. This is different than places we have made candles at in the past. This was just wrapping the wax basically, but still very cool and interesting. Unique smell too. We have since burned a few of the candles. They burn fast!








Putting our name on the naughty or nice list. They did have Father Christmas there too, but Adeline was a little scared to do it, so we looked from afar.






Collin said his was part nice and part naughty. The one thing I realized the morning after we forgot to do was go and see the live nativity. That was a bummer, but we did everything else, including Evelyn losing her gloves :( but I guess that is par for the course in a cold outdoor adventure wandering around. It was really a fun, unique time.
