...we headed to Nana and Michael's farm. This is one of the many views from this remote retreat in Missouri country. This place was breath taking and we loved experiencing it!
Eli and his cousin Jameson could play with mud and sticks to their hearts content and be a part of a whole new world...
...the kids could pet and help feed the horses...
...Anna could play dress up with her great great grandmothers jewelry...
...and I could play games (with a spectacular view) to my heart's content.
As always with this side of the family we kick off Christmas by reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas". This year was extra special because my hot husband read the story....
Every time the word "THE" was read we passed around gifts and anxiously awaited opening the gift that was destined to be ours once the final "THE" is read with "THE END". We always wind up with something cool, and the kids even today were playing with their "balloon cars" that one of us received. I love this tradition. But of course there are other Christmas traditions that the kids love, like opening even more gifts : )
By far the best part (as in every celebration thus far) was being with those we love and love us so well.

Thank you Nana & Michael for opening up your beautiful home to us. One more stop, and then it's back to reality : )
