Winter Olympics 2010!




Keeping with the tradition set back in 1984 -for Joan anyway- we held our family olympic party.


Shenna and Kiera made our traditional cake of the world; which, of course, was devoured before the athletes even entered the stadium.

Every time the olympics roll around, we have a great geography lesson. This year, we just used a small map and Samuel and Enoch helped me put a pin on each country as the athletes came into the stadium. I've decided that for the summer games in London in 2012, we will definitely have a much larger map. Though most of the pins we used were clear ones, you can see that the entire continent of Europe is completely covered!


We also picked our countries and athletes for our FANTASY OLYMPIC GAMES! So far, Aaron is the only one with any points, but the rest of us are going to give him a run for his money. It will be fun to find out who wins the ultimate prize at the end. We love winter sports!

I like your idea of the fantasy olympic games--you need to show me how you do that. We had an opening ceremony party too. :)

P.S. I love the picture of Samuel with River--it could be in a pajama catalog--looks so cozy.
