Birthday stroll, 2009

On February 20, 1994 Vaden was born in Williamsburg. Prior to her actually entrance, we had to walk, and walk. Therefore in honor of that day we showed Vaden where she had "walked" just before the grand arrival. Here are a few snippets of the day in CW, which by way was as beautiful as 15 years ago.

The MUST for tourist foto!

The traditional HESS truck from the states....always a hit.

Paul gets excited about a new DVD! Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull...good stuff.

And Lego was had by all....

Then on to others...

..such as breakfast quiche. A shrimp quiche receipt found in the "Virgina Hospitality" cookbook of course.

Peter even had a visit from the Tomtum...notice the new rolled leather collar Peter is sporting as we go out for a Xmas day walk while the duck is cooking.

and Vaden sports a new scarf as we step off for our walk.

and we are off.....

and we stop for a quick photo, I think Wils is trying to blow a bubble of gum...?

"The Boys" all with a new sweater, a new hat and a new collar. Sharp looking bunch.

Late afternoon view across the valley towards France.

Putting the finishing touches on the Xmas dinner of roast duck, with wild rice mixture, corn pudding, green snapbeans, green Feld salad with walnut oil and walnut vinegar....

and to finish...a Yule Log!

JOYEUX NOËL !
