Took the boys to A Civil War Christmas.
Now, I typically run from anything Christmas until after Thanksgiving. But Oldest Boy is currently studying the Civil War and we wanted to make the exhibit before it was gone. They got their picture with President Lincoln and Oldest Boy talked with him a little bit. They walked through the Civil War exhibit and the two Younger Boys painted salt-dough ornaments. Oldest Boy was really interested as he read the different plaques in the exhibit and did say he learned something new - didn't share what that was :) They had a wonderful group doing music and they were teaching some dancing. Could not get any of them to learn a dance with me. Oldest Daughter said I should have taken her, but then who would lead?
It was part of a Candlelight Tour so we walked around a bit and the Younger Boys painted another ornament and all three got a goody bag filled with candy to eat on the way home.
It was a wonderful evening to spend with my boys. We really enjoyed ourselves.
