after that we ate pizza and brownies and built a fort. that's right, a fort... out of blankets and pillows and floor lamps and couches. upon reflection at one gathering, on our childhood memories, we all realized that most of us had built forts. so we decided to fortify ourselves, all 11 of us, and read winter and christmas stories. i was a little skeptical about all this but i did end up having fun. one of the books we read was "louhi, witch of north farm" which is a story from finland's epic poem, the kalevala . this is a special story to me because i grew up reading it and my family on my dad's side is from finland.
here are some pictures of our day...

you all look so comfy in your fort. ahh, the good ol' days...
it was really quite impressive, the scale and luxury of our fort!
wow that fort beats the one i make w/ my 2 year old... maybe we'll get better as the years roll on. i like the background for the group picture.
