Very Merry VT Christmas!!

 We drove up to Memere & Papa Kings on Wednesday for lunch!

We opened presents then enjoyed a walk in the woods and cleared off some downed tree branches from the sugar lines from the last storm.  We enjoyed playing games and a movie that night.

On Thursday we went sledding, went up Papa King's Tree stand - that we were able to take down, and enjoyed more games.  So Fun!
