Holiday Happenings

Campfire and great hot chocolate with friends

With the end of the fall semester, we enjoyed a great evening with our friends Melanie, Atalie, Wendy and Melissa, Tristan's homeroom teacher. Kicking off the Christmas holidays with an outdoor film -- The Polar Express.

Board Game in the Backyard

Yesterday we had a great game of Settlers of Catan with the guys. Ben and Kyle were great first time conspirators, but none of us were a match for Eric's devious ways! BUT, there is always time for a rematch! The guys return to Canada on Tuesday night.

Baby Susan

Over the next three weeks, we also have a very special little guest staying with our family: Susan is an orphan from the Nest Children's Home, being fostered by our friends Mel and Kerry. Since they have returned to America for the funeral of Kerry's dad, we will be caring for Susan until Melanie's return on January 8th. Our kids are delighted to have a four month old to cuddle and sing to.

  2. HI Heather!

    It is Settlers of Catan Seafarers expansion set. It is a lot of fun, especially in this set up, where you can use your ships to explore and discover unknown islands and potentially uncover the precious gold resource!

    We have had a lot of great evenings with board games in Kenya, but Settlers and Carcassonne are two of our favourites.

    Merry Christmas
