Little Luke

The boys headed over to Connie and Ben's after dinner and before a high school basketball game to decorate The Venskus Tree. Treated to Connie's homemade goodies, Sebino and Guido enjoyed celebrating this tradition with their favorite American Aunt and Uncle. All that was missing? Little Luke Venskus! :-)

Black Mountain on Friday ready for skiers! 

Yesterday, Sebino was in southern Maine winning a wrestling match, and Guido hit the slopes with his pal, Egan. On Saturday night, they attended a Christmas party at their French friend Victor's home. This Sunday morning, both boys were up at 8am and we headed off to Black Mountain of Maine for a day of skiing. Although we don't have a lot of natural snow yet, the mountain does a fine job of making snow. Tonight, if we all have energy, we'll be decorating our Book Tree... a Kent Family Tradition. Stay tuned.

This two little guys landed first chair of the year on Saturday morning.

Black Mountain Map--the whole mountain is not open yet due to a lack of
natural snow. But! The snowmaking is working well.
