Scattered Pictures: 11/20 & 11/26/09

The Friday before Thanksgiving is what we consider the start of our holiday season, regardless of what the malls try to tell us. We begin that weekend with the Germania Society's Chriskindlmarkt, an event that we've gone to for years now.

The biggest hit of the night--Rudolph noses!

The boys were pretty intrigued by Colerain's Rockettes: 9 songs, 10 costume changes

Jack Frost was just leaving the klubhaus when we were headed there, but then he broke it down for the boys by playing "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"

Thanksgiving Morning we usually begin the day by doing a family bowling tournament at Madison Bowl. I'm not good at bowling, but I go because my husband and sons love it. I came home with the most trophies! Unfortunately, they were for lowest score and most gutter balls.
