Activities!

It seems the year has just flown by! I suppose that's because 70 of the days I spent riding....
This is a shot my dear friend Paula snapped while we were out on what turned out to be my last good ride with his shoes on. The weather was nice and we managed to sneak through some woods trails even though it was hunting season. I love that this horse is always happy to go down the trail with both ears forward. We had a great time!

Each weekend from Thanksgiving to New Year's was filled to the brim with activities. On this Sunday we really enjoyed seeing the Holy Family. Do they look familiar? My sister, her husband and their angel and baby. Sooo cute that little angel was, singing away with the rest of the children in the pageant. That sweet baby slept through the whole time.


The NH Farm Museum had a wonderful special event for Christmas. The Jones Farm was all decorated for the season. See the dried flowers in the windowsill? We ate chestnuts roasted on an open fire and they were delicious. We searched the barn for goodies and had a wonderful tour and wagon ride.



At home we decorated and prepared and celebrated. Caroling in the village here at a friend's party on a beautiful and thankfully not too cold evening. The cub scouts had a party and a caroling at a nursing home. We made 2 trips up to Vermont. One at Thanksgiving and another just after Christmas...blizzard and all. Lots of activities and fun!
Hope your holidays were as enjoyable as ours.
