Christmas 2013

The Ballard Boys had a Fabulous Christmas in West Virginia! Santa found them no problem! Santa did have to drop off the Boys new clubs a couple days early because they were too heavy for the sleigh! Elfy the Elf was Happy to help Santa with this early delivery!!!

Brunch with Santa!!!

The Ballard Boys "Goodbye Tour" of Charlottesville continues at the Boars Head Inn for their Annual Brunch with Santa! It is such a Fabulous Event! Yummy Food, Chocolate Milk, Hot Chocolate... And of Course, The Big Man, himself... SANTA!!!! The other thing I love about Charlottesville is that it is a decently big town but you always run into friends! The Ballard Boys saw so many of their friends waiting for their turn with Santa!



Olivia even made the special trip this year to check out the Big Man and eat some Pancakes!

The Ballard Boys even convinced the young-at-heart to join them!

A Wonderfully Warm day for a Carriage Ride!



Here are the Ballard Boys with Santa and Mrs. Clause! 

Oh Our Olivia!! Too Precious for Words!

The Ballard Boys Go Colonial...

Colonial Williamsburg, that is...  It was a Beautiful Anniversary Trip back in time to enjoy Christmas Time in Colonial Williamsburg! 


After a short Bus ride downtown, the Ballard Boys began their day in colonial times...

Ballard Boys Always Consult Their Maps...


The Amateur Gun Enthusiasts that they are, the Ballard Boys began their visit at the Magazine. Checking out all the Colonial Weapons, Gun Powder, and Uniforms!

 Back on the Trail...



Cellars, were also on the List... but not quite the basement full of toys that They were Expecting...

Quick Wrestling Match on the Grounds of the Governor's Palace!

Then a Little Game of Tag in the Gardens...

After Their Atrocious Behavior on the Palace Gardens...


And when Punishment didn't work... We Enlisted Them in the Williamsburg Independent Company of the Virginia Militia!







The Only Sure thing The Ballard Boys Learned Successfully was the Double Arm Surrender!



William was All Business in Formation! He did Not like the Sergeant yelling at him! James, well... he is not too intimidated by Authority... Not too worried that the Military is in Either of the Ballard Boys Furtures...
