Noxen, December 2010 (part 1)

We spent a week-plus in Noxen to celebrate Christmas and ring in the New Year. Simon and Kristina played with their cousins, went for hikes, played in the (heated) treehouse, slid around on Matt's home-made ice rink, did some serious joyriding in the golf cart, helped Grandaddy with his pond-digging project, and enjoyed many many other fun things. Matt and Maria enjoyed some R&R, visiting with Aunt Karen, hosting Emily and Eric, and celebrating Tommy Lane's birthday at Torchy's. (See second gallery for more photos.)
