YEP, WE'RE IN SCOTLAND!
Last night was one of those moments when it suddenly hits me...yep, we're in Scotland.
See the post below for pictures from our church Christmas party. The games in that post were played before we all shared a meal together, although they were a little different from the games we played in Canada, the evening was seeming like a normal Canadian Church Christmas party. So we played the games, we had a lovely meal, then they cleared the tables away, and....
Get ready for this all you Canadian Baptists....
We had dancing!! Yes, right after the meal, they started playing music and we had a good-ol' Ceilidh dance in the church hall! It was terrific.
Since we had already attended a Ceilidh (and now I can't remember how to spell that word) at our weekend away in October, we were familiar with some of the dances. It is kind of like squaredancing. We all had a great time and I even got a few pictures snapped when Shawn was partnering with Alexander and Benjamin. Hannah and Jacob also did some of the dances in our arms and they seemed to love it as well. They had been asleep in our room when we attended the last Ceilidh at the hotel.
So here are some of the pictures:
Here are Benjamin and Shawn doing one of the dances together. We were glad that Benjamin jumped right in to dance since he was too shy to do it last time.
And here is Alexander smiling away as he dances next to his Dad (whose head I managed to cut off again!)
And one of the dances required a three person grouping, just right for a dad of twins! A little more of Shawn's head made it into the picture!

Sounds like a wonderful day! So glad you've found a church family and are really settling in. The pics are really cute, it's easy to tell that the kids had a great time...and Shawn too:). He's quite the dancer:).
Looks like a fun Christmas party!! The pictures are great. Your photos (minus Shawn's head) remind me of the photos my momma took when we were kids... And even at my wedding. Someone's head/body is cut off in every one :P
So, Shawn is bustin' a move on the dance floor. This must be the UK version of the Canaanite Shift.
Too much fun to resist, even for Sharon.
Blessings,
Matt
A baptist dance party...well I never thought I'd see the day...WOW! So glad to hear that the boys can "boogie"!!! Sounds like you all had a great time. Wish we could be there with you. Sent you a Breakfast recipe today Bev, hope you give it a try. Charlie's doing great...only one week to go before we head home for Christmas...will seem different not seeing you all there too! I'm sure you'll have a wonderful "Scottish" Christmas there. Love to you all.
Dancing along on fancy feet
Is Shawn, a dad who can't be beat,
Dragging his boys around the floor
They had to push him out the door
He could have partied all the night
That would have been a funny sight
Bev taking pictures, our blogging girl,
Glad you had fun at your Scotland twirl.
Cindy, You have the greatest poems! Is this a new talent or just one you have kept hidden from all?? This is the second one on our blog! We are very impressed.
I have always written poetry...but it takes some special inspiration to get the creative juices flowing :)
Hope you are entertained!
