Christmas farm visit

We found out about a farm in the area that puts on a Christmas theme so we went to check it out. It was awesome! It really helped us feel like Christmas is coming. The owner definitely showcases the real reason for the season. We had hot chocolate and cookies, looked at horses, goats, pigs, and turkeys, roasted the girls first marshmallows, got pony rides, and met Santa. It was just below freezing, but we all got bundled up and everyone did really well.

Pony rides were fun for Gracie, but Ellie took a lap to get un-scared. We let her start without Dad so that caused some of the problem.

Hot chocolate wasn't a big hit (maybe too hot?) but the cookies made Ellie smile!

Nice to see some Christmas decorations that aren't Santa!
The girls loved the horses and other animals at the farm.

This was a really friendly goat!

Santa was the last stop of the night. 50% of our child population likes Santa...which is up 50% from last year! Maybe next year everyone will smile?
