Weekend Pictures

Well, now that another weekend is upon us, I guess I should probably update the blog with last weekend's pictures. Last Saturday we took the kids on an Elf on a Shelf hayride. It was great! The Old Company Store in Wareham does this hayride every year. It was our first year doing it, and we had a blast.

We got there just as a hayride pulled up, so we didn't have to wait at all. The tractor pulls you through the cranberry bogs.
On the way to the cranberry bogs, they read you the story of Elf on a Shelf.
Then you have to look for all the elves hiding in the bogs.
When you see an elf you shout "ELF!"
Grace had such a blast looking for elves.
After the ride they had hot chocolate, coffee, and cookies back at the store. The kids also got a bell necklace to wear and they got to pick out a Christmas tattoo. Grace really loved this event. We will definitely be going back next year. As a side note, the Old Company Store is great! If you are ever looking for something to do when bored, just go walk around the store! It's filled with all sorts of fun things. Grace is especially fond of their candy section!

On Sunday, we had a Christmas party to go to, so I tried to whip together this Santa bread, I found on Pinterest. It didn't turn out quite, like the picture, but close enough for me.
Just a few pictures of the kids in some festive clothes!
We are gearing up for another fun filled weekend, starting with Grace's Holiday show tonight!
