This weekend the Burke family kicked off the holiday season with the annual Fredericksburg Christmas parade. We got to hang out with the Garman and Fauth families. We have officially declared a new tradition. Josh and I decided that we will get to the parade early to get good seats, then after the parade is over we will eat downtown. We did this Saturday with the Garmans' and it worked wonderful. We ate at one of our favorites Bangkok Thai then by the time we finished, the traffic was all cleared out of town it was great. We had a great time. Then it was on to Sunday. We greatly enjoyed hanging out with some of our favorite people the Sperlazzas' and Dowker. Since the majority of the construction is done at the Burke home we can now have guests over again. It was great to have these friends over for French Dip Sandwiches and a day of football. This is where things get bad and then ugly. If it wasn't bad enough that the Redskins failed miserably, then the 4pm game had to come along in which the Cowboys won and that is never pretty. However that evening Josh and I finished the evening on a good note by watching one of our favorite holiday movies "The Family Stone". We watch it every Christmas season and we love it. Overall good weekend and we are looking forward to the remainder of December 2010.
We would like this blog to encapsulate exactly what the title refers to. The "memoirs", the memories, the observations and the life experiences that occur at Burke Manor. Why Burke Manor, you ask? Anytime someone new would come to visit our home Josh would always say, "welcome to Burke Manor". It just sort of stuck so now we have, "The Memoirs of Burke Manor".
