Much Laughter, Much Fun

The Whole Crew!

Bill told them to make a 'funny face!'

Me with all the kids getting close to bedtime on Saturday night

They played in the dusting of snow that arrived Saturday a.m.

We hosted the Knapp family this weekend at our house. They arrived Friday in time for dinner - steaks, baked potatoes, asparagus. "Chickies" and fries for Lucas and Ellie as requested. A very late night for everyone with lots of laughter and fun .. and so many Wii games! Saturday Bill and B took Jacob to the UVA v. North Carolina Mens' Basketball game. Lori and I headed to the Downtown Mall with Adam, Lucas and Ellie. It was a cold, windy day so we found our lunch spot quickly .. a great kids' place called Eppie's with a terrific local menu! Ellie had her first Fluffernutter sandwich .. and I had granny smith apple slices with brie on whole grain bread with a side of sweet potatoes (to share with Ellie!) It was delicious! Then we headed to the Charlottesville Discovery Museum. The kids ran and played for a couple hours as we happily took a seat. We saw old friends from the dowtown City Market (originally from Albany!) and two of Ellie's friends from school .. Emma and Abby.

What a nice visit we had. The kids get along like siblings .. and respond like they've just had a sleepover .. not enough sleep and too much junk to eat. It was wonderful to all be together again - and to have the opportunity to host at our house!

Next adventure with the Knapps ... Water Park in Williamsburg, VA at the end of the month!
