Fun in the snow!

Nutfield Pottery - Derry, N.H.

~Today I drove up to Derry Village in New Hampshire to visit the Gibbons family. (my brother Michael) I got a chance to see how he makes pottery in his pottery studio, Nutfield Pottery. It actually looks like a lot of fun. I also will be bringing back a few pieces to show you. They live in a house that is almost 300 years old and is right down the street from the house where Robert Frost lived.

~Started Sunday watching the Patriots destroy the Buffalo Bills. We watched outside around a fire. Halfway through the game, the snow started.....and it is still snowing almost 20 hours later. It's a lot of fun to play in, but NO fun to drive in.

Christmas with the Gibbons Family

~Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. Spent a good part of the day and night with more than 50 Gibbons Folk, brothers, sister, nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, parents, etc. It was nice to be with family and friends.

Hello from New England!

~It is cold up here! I mean wicked wicked cold! It has snowed three times since I have been here, and it is fun to play in, but NOT to drive in. Enjoying seeing all my family up here, but missing the warmer weather of Jacksonville. Spent the afternoon yesterday at Patriot Place, the entertainment and shopping complex outside of Gillette Stadium (where the Patriots play). It was awesome...and everything was covered in a blanket of snow.... double awesome! Tonight is when the Gibbons family celebrates Christmas, so I will post some pictures tomorrow. Merry Christmas and/or Happy New Year!

~We started off our day with the Polar Express, then played some Pajama Kickball. Miranda taught us that pajamas and kickball do not go well together. Then we had our ziti/lasagna smackdown. We all know who won! We went back to Room 71 and had our Annual Pickle Swap! Next, we opened our stockings from Santa. All in all it was a great day!
