We love to go to this fun festival with Mike, Kristen, and the kids. This year it was COLD (or at least, chilly. I had to get a new wool wrap for my birthday just to stay warm. Poor me.) But it was also really fun, and ALL THE KIDS WERE IN A GOOD MOOD. Even mine! The grown ups were too. It was a good day.
Two kids looking for the troll, one kid pretending to be the troll.
I tried on these ear-muffs and Kristen told me I looked like a Who. I’m kind of sorry I didn’t get them.
My new woolie. I see myself wearing this in my cold house constantly this winter.
There is always one person in the group who, when you say make silly faces, stands there and smiles as though she were more normal than the others. Can you spot this person?
These bows and arrows were the hit of the day! We’d seen countless people walking around, bows slung over shoulders, colorful arrows peeking out of bags. We found them, at the end of a long line, near the end of our day. I bought them for the little boys in my life (sorry Luke and Willow. Merry Christmas boys!) and wished I had thought of it myself so I could be making money hand over fist.
In the butterfly pavilion. The kids love that thing.
We actually got a great start on our Christmas shopping, and I didn’t get super sick from all the wheat I cheated with.

Looks like a wonderful day! I’m looking at the pictures and smelling the woodsmoke and feeling the cool day! Love your new wool cape- the button is a neat focal point.
I miss those Clotworthy’s!!!!!
And I love the picture of Mike and Chad listening to Aiden make a point with hand motionS!
