Visiting friends on the farm










I blogged last year about our friends who bought a farm and started Synergistic Acres, they have been there for over a year now. We made it down to see them and the girls had fun seeing the baby pigs, feeding the big pigs, ice skating on a frozen creek and just seeing their friends. If your local and want to know where you food is raised and how the animals are treated, check out their blog and information about ordering from them. 
 I wasn't going to mentioned this but on the way down to their farm we run out of gas. My husband had stopped and the gas station we stopped out at wouldn't read the card. He planned on getting gas later but forgot. Luckily a nice lady was parked nearby and she went and bought a gas can and gas, brought it back to us and wouldn't accept any money.

Christmas Eve

Christmas wishes

My long list of Christmas goodies, ended up being cut short-- I run out of time but it was still good. fudge and buckeye bark made it, I made peanut butter fudge but it did not set up. I think I'll be looking for a different recipe next Christmas. We also made sugar cookies and snickerdoodles. Our oven isn't working right now so cooking lots of cookies in the toaster oven wasn't my idea of fun.

Cats and Trees




We put our Christmas tree up in a different location this year. Our living room is pretty small so I put a small tree in there with a lot of my prim ornaments on it.  The main tree I placed in a corner that was close to the stairs, it worked out pretty good with only a few ornaments batted down the stairs and only one broken. No cats were caught climbing in the tree, but they loved to lay under it.




Christmas Traditions












Saturday night we stopped at Fritz's for burgers, looked at Christmas lights and played around at Union Station.

Ornament Swap




My swap partner in Hannah's Homespun Ornament swap was Denise at  The Krazy Kraft Lady. She sent me these wonderful ornaments. I love the snowman with the hat, the cardinal is a favorite of ours it's the elementary school mascot.  Amy wanted to eat the snowman pop she was a little disappointed when she realized it was an ornament.
Thanks Denise.
