Horseback Riding and Winter Snow play

One of our Christmas gifts to Abby and Piper was a horseback riding lesson. They both love horses and let me know quite adamantly that they knew how to ride. Still, they were very excited to go ride horses and let their teachers know that they knew how. :) We all had such fun watching them and they did great! So cute and sweet! Meanwhile, Farmer Ben hung out with the goats and got up close and personal with the dirt. Piper really wanted to play in snow, so J,P, Piper, Captain and I drove up to the Crest and sledded in the snow! WooHoo!! Scary! Lastly….one more Christmas story for Abby - Corgieville Christmas, my personal favorite. And then…snoozeville. What a Christmas!

Christmas Dinner…..and bedtime back at Little Bird Farm

We enjoyed such a beautiful time at Podge and Melli's house on Christmas Day! Seriously silly cousins!!

And so that was Christmas…beautiful Christmas!

A smattering of our Christmas preparation, Christmas Eve and early Christmas morning pictures here. Abby helped make the tamales. Sara too. Piper helped make the filling for our Christmas Stollen. Everyone helped with the Luminarias! Do note the picture of Ben with his dad, Nate, folding his own luminaria bag…custom work, that! And a special visitor on Christmas Eve when Amber and Aaron's crew joined us, along with Young Tim and Stevieh, Granny & Papa, and Podge! And then…Christmas morning stockings! Even Fred's stocking was filled! (Thank you Josh, Paige & Piper!) After our Christmas morning at Little Bird Farm, we all headed up to Podge & Melli's for a beautiful Christmas Dinner. So many little kid GIGGLES and funny, funny kid stuff!!! Christmas and kids….such a blast!!
