We drove around this beautiful horse ranch and then Mr. Bird, the owner of the place, made us a terrific lunch...what a sweet man!!
Thank you all for a wonderful time!

Christmas With Grani

As soon as we got home for MamaJan and Papa's, the girls took a nap and then Katie woke up ready to use her Easy Bake oven. She made smores... She wanted to save them for after dinner with Grani, Uncle Justin, Aunt Sandi, Uncle Curtis, and Julia...
Grani brought the family recipe with her for dressing and Ryan and I made it for the first time along with the rest of the delicious Christmas Meal...
The girls got to open their stockings from Grani right away and these cute ballerina leotards were in there...
It looks like Rylie's ready to open more!!
