Almost done decorating
Kya made the sweet Gingerbread Man on the left at Story Hour at the library so Ryker had to make one when he got home from school.
Kya named hers Sweetie
Ryker's was a cowgirl
Bow Hill Santa Train
Miss Abby
This farrier was there and he punched the kid's names into old horse shoes.
Contemplating where the train will take them next.....
The train wasn't actually running this year because repairs are needed on the tracks. The kid's were not the least bit disappointed. They played on the train cars and pretended they were going to different places, some imaginary. I think they may have even liked it better. They ran around with all the other kids while the parents stood around and talked.
Washington Park Winter Wonderland Walk
It gets better every year! The kids had a blast.
Still not thrilled with this Grinch, but at least they got close enough for pictures. Kya wouldn't look at me though. She had to keep a close eye on him.
Story time with the library staff.
This is how it looks walking in, but then it opens up to all the lights shown above once you get up into the forest. Their favorite stuff this year: Larry the Lighthouse, Clover the Balloon Fairy, and Robotics Team doughnut maker (because they got mini donuts). On our way outwe grabbed hot chocolate for Ryker and since Kya hates chocolate and they didn't have apple cider, Kya opted for clam chowder.....haha. Whatever works.
On our way home we stopped at the lights set to music on Hwy 20.
All of a sudden this started driving around....what the heck?
Yep, it's Santa on a lit up lawn mower.
It was really funny and the kids loved it. Actually, I might have enjoyed it the most. After watching him walk around after his joyride, we're pretty sure he was a little tipsy!
Mixing up Christmas cookies
Treats and more singing at Ryker's school after Christmas Caroling
Yes! It snowed! I'm so happy it was on a non-school day. Good thing I had breakfast ready when they woke up because they went out immediately after and stayed out for most of the morning.
Ryker didn't even take the time to find his own hat. Purple was just fine. He needed to get out there!
Trying desperately to find a hill.
