Riley's Farm

yesterday we went back to Oak Glen and visited Riley's Farm. it was so beautiful and we all had so much fun. these are some pics that auntie shannon took since i left my camera at home AGAIN!! i was so mad at myself but she always comes prepared.
santa came by our table and said hi to the kids. caleb is not a fan of santa (at least not yet) as you can see. the restaurant was set up like in the old colonial days and we even ate by candle light. the girls decorated gingerbread men inside by the warm fire and watched us out the window while we exercised our wreath-making skills. smart kids, huh?
we made the wreaths out of things we found on the farm and even though it was worth it, it was sooooo, sooooo, sooooo cold that my fingers felt like they were going to fall off!
john is such a trooper. he did most of the work since my hands were almost frostbitten (i know, a bit dramatic).


ta-da! there's our hand made wreath hanging up by our tree. now we're all set for Christmas!

what a way to get in the Christmas spirit...we have to do it again! and yes, the wreath making is an experience i'll never forget, next year let's bring warm gloves though. :)
ha, ha.

Looks like you guys had a great time! We had the opposite weather when we went for apple picking last month. Crazy how different it can be in just a couple of weeks! Great pics Shannon!
