Lake Balaton Winter 09

This winter has by far been the coldest we've experienced. For weeks we had below freezing temperatures. Last weekend we drove down to Lake Balaton to go ice skating. I guess about every eight years the lake freezes over enough so that you can go out on it.

Jared found the lazy mans way to ice skate

This is how Scarlett's face looked the entire time. If you look closely you can see tears, not because she's sad but because it's soooo cold.

Proof you can fry anything and it tastes good. These people were offering free hot wine, tea, fried apples and bread with lard.

Holiday Recap : NY

Ah...NY
I miss NY

Scarlett and I spent 10 days with Grammie and Papa before Christmas. Even though I was sick for most of it, it was nice to be able to sleep in 'til 9, have home cooked meals, and enjoy free hands while Grammie entertained Scarlett.

Scarlett hit up the carousel at the Danbury mall on two different occasions

Grammie treated us to see the Christmas Spectacular in NYC

We visited Rockafeller Center

Scarlett wouldn't let me play the piano, each time I sat down to play she wanted to join in

The morning we flew out to Key West (before Papa cleared the way) and the reason for a 5 hour delay and Jared not making his connecting flight to join us...until the next morning
