We had our granddaughters out to visit for the holidays and it was grand. Plenty of children running around opening presents. A crazy time!

Balloon Glow 2009
The weather for this year’s Bluegrass Balloon Festival was awful, and rain canceled most of the events, but we did get to see the balloon glow one evening before more storms rolled in. It was, as always, very cool to see all of the balloons up close like that.
Happy Birthday Michael
Our oldest turned 35, and as he usually prefers, we kept things low key. We got him a new “phone” (although he uses it for almost anything but actually talking) and a little cake. He blew all the candles out on the first try – what a good boy he is 
At Ye Olde Faire
The whole family and a few friends went to the KY Renaissance Faire, a favorite of the kids. There were a lot of new games and attractions there this year, and the weather was beautiful. This was Joshua’s first fair and Sarah’s first where she could actually walk around and enjoy it.
We got to play, see a few shows and even enjoy the Tournament (complete with Jousting)!
It was also fun to see all of the people dressed up in various costumes. There were faries and pirates and knights and priests all over the place!
Cow Appreciation Day
Chick-fil-A is one of the kid’s favorite fast food places and they had a promotion today that offered free chicken to anyone dressed like a cow. Thus, a frenzy of crafting ensued and many cows were created!
The children had fun creating their costumes and loved their free kids meals. It was a very clever promotion and the restaurant was crowded, which made it more fun for everyone. We even saw one of Jordan’s teachers dressed as a cow – along with her daughter who is Sarah’s age and from the same province in China. A really fun evening!
