Carriage rides and Christmas gifts!

Our local mall does complimentary carriage rides every Sunday afternoon until Christmas and we knew about it this year! Emma loved the ride around the mall with Jackson (the horse) leading the way.







She wasn't much into posing in front of the big ornaments...or maybe she was upset because they had drained the fountains.





Emma received a letter from Santa Claus and read it with Daddy.







I was trying to get some good pictures of the lights on our tree. I want to learn more of taking pictures in the manual setting of our camera. I need to practice!





Shhh! We were making some Christmas presents at our local pottery place after church the last two Sundays. I think that they will be a HIT! Just a glimpse in case they happen upon the blog before Christmas.





Oh yeah...we had our first taste of winter this past Thursday...snow!
