Christmas Pictures

oops, i was a bit late on getting the hug and kiss picture.
sampling the new plastic food in her 'restaurant'.
aaw the sista and her bro's. ain't they cute? they look happy too, this was BEFORE the war of Carcassonne began. :)
Not only did julia get the right clothes for her dream, she now is the proud owner of many a pony, horse, brush, shovel (very imp't for these beasts) and fencing to keep them in. Thank you K.

AND WE CANNOT FORGET......from afar came a lovely delight...a package from a beloved sister and her family! in it were many surprizes, some of which you can see here...a sticker book with stickers, and for mommy a beautiful ornament for the tree. THANK YOU! So lovely to receive a surprize!

love to all. we had a great family Christmas and spent a lot of time together (even though dave worked christmas eve and boxing day).... it was lovely to talk to loved ones on the phone, spend time singing praises to God at our worshipful Eve service, watch as Julia and others opened gifts with starlit eyes, and just be together for feast and fellowship.

I hope all of you out there in blogland had a great Christmas. May God reveal to you all of the peace and joy that are available in His soveriegn will for you.

love from dave, sue, and Julia.

Looks like you had a great family time there. Mum and I played Carcassonne tonight for the 1st time. Does 109 to 87 sound about right for a ending score? We had 2 river pieces we couldn't place and there seems to be more than one possible starting piece. It's a little tricky knowing if farms connect to some cities too. But a lot of fun, even if your score was only 87.

oh oh, mom is already ascending as the champion of the new game...hahah, don't worry dad, you will get your chance. i find it is a game that we both win at equally...so each round is different. :)

the farms are the hardest part for me to add up as well! the river is to be placed first, until completed...and then the rest of the game continues. First: you remove the beginning and end pieces of the river. Second: you choose who to go first, and that person lays the 'beginning' of the river. third: the next player randomly chooses from the 'river tiles', and places it onto the beginning river tile. this continues until all that is left is that end of river tile. place the end of the river, i believe the river is then 12 pieces long. and then continue the game with the normal pieces. :)
that should solve the river problem.

you can always call the Carcassonne help line. you have our number. :)
loves.
