We've been celebrating Christmas like a colonist this year!
We had a Colonial Christmas Party with our school friends...
A very festive spread...
Making orange-clove air fresheners...
Creating dried apple ornaments...
Cute nativity scene ornaments...
We even got to visit the tinsmith for more ornaments...
I taught colonial dancing which was so much fun for me!
We had so much fun and now our tree is beautifully decorated!
It is something we've always wanted to try so this was the perfect year for it! It was about 32 degrees the night we were there so we really enjoyed the yummy hot apple cider and cozy atmosphere of the tavern. We sang Christmas carols, threw tomahawks (outside while it was hailing!), tried yummy new foods, and listened to the story of the birth of our Savior. They even started the meal off with a prayer, which was much appreciated! It was extra fun this night because during the "toasts" a brave young man proposed to his girlfriend in front of everyone, including her family who was there! We had to leave before all the festivities were over, we missed the dancing:(, but our little patriots were up way past bedtime and one was even starting to fall asleep in his seat! But, it was a fun evening nonetheless!
