The day after Thanksgiving we visited the Frontier Culture Museum. It is unlike any other "museum" I had ever been to. They show examples of farms from the 17th and 18th centuries - from America, Germany, Ireland, England, and West Africa. It was so fun to experience a little of what life might have been like for people in those days. My little men especially enjoyed the animals, and dancing to some Irish jigs. We went on Christmas market day, so Mason and Stanley were able to meet St Nicholas as well. Speaking of which, I believe tomorrow is St Nicholas day. Hopefully he comes to fill our shoes with presents tonight!!!!
So sorry for the sideways shot but this was so much fun to dance with Mason. It is so funny because last summer my Mom did her DNA testing, and found out that she is mostly Irish. She never knew she had any Irish blood in her at all, but it totally makes so much sense to me now! I grew up listening to her sing Irish lullabies to me. I can see how it came through me too, because I have always loved Celtic music. It has to be in my blood! My poor Mason is probably like, my Mom is crazy! Sorry Mason, I just can't help myself sometimes. Also, we loved that musician - poor guy though - he definitely looked overworked and under paid. (typical for most musicians I think ;).

Yah! and we have the Luck 'o the Irish too! Such fun to see you and Mason Dancing...I was thinking you could pick up the violin and get the whole room dancing. I am mighty proud of my 20% Irish...got the temperament at times too:)
