Ren Faire....

Thanksgiving was a whirlwind!  Dean's sister and her family was here and we really enjoyed being with them.  We did lots of catching up, lots of eating and a fair bit of shopping....

Matthew came home for a few days.....miss him so much

Dean and I got a photo of US!  ha!

While everyone was here, we went to the Ren Faire...it is SUCH fun and the boys had never been to one.  
The weekend's theme was Dr. Who and Time Travelers and the costumes were amazing!  Lots of Tardis outfits and booths!  Lots of Steam Punk costumes too.

This guy was Jaques Ze Whipper and he was hands down our favorite.  He was not only very good at his craft but he was engaging and funny....and interestingly humble.   Wonderful show.
We actually went and watched it twice before leaving for home that night.

He draws his mustache on with a marker and uses a cheesy accent and the crowd goes crazy.  He will tell you when to take photos....like in this shot!

But he was talented...and proceeded to whittle a straw of spaghetti down to about an inch while his whip was on fire...and not hurt himself.  

and by the time he was done....

The Ren Faire is here for a full month so if you are ever in the area, you should really plan on attending...
