Christmas Tree Farm!

Well, we had a great Thanksgiving with tons of food and great friends. All that was missing was some family...it is always hard being so far away from the ones you love, but we are thankful for the time we do get to spend with them. We have so much to be thankful for and we are very blessed! We really didn't get any pictures of Thanksgiving, but felt it was important to mention how wonderful the holiday was for us.

Now that Thanksgiving is officially over we started up the Christmas music and headed out to the Christmas tree farm. Ryleigh really loves the outdoors and we got really lucky that it did not rain. This Christmas tree farm is pretty awesome. They have real reindeer, a duck pond, hot chocolate and of course Santa!

She really enjoyed meeting Santa. Not!

Sipping on some hot chocolate. YUM!

 

She really loved running around looking at all the trees
