A New Tradition!

Growing up my parents always would load all 7 of us up in the station wagon and drive around looking at Christmas lights. We would sing Christmas carols and play games in the car. So when my friend Stacie came up with the AWESOME idea of taking there trailer full of hay through Deerfield, I was totally on board. We started out the evening tailgating with some pizza (thanks Liz) and then off we were. Stacie made hot chocolate for everyone and a little Bailey's spike for the adults (you know to keep us warm). We had such a great time. Definitely put me in the Christmas Spirit. Carsen and Chloe were so excited to see all the lights and different characters surrounding the houses. Carsen would sing "Jingle Bells" and "Santa is Coming to Town". I'm assuming he learned all these songs at school. I only taught him Rudolph last year LOL!

I say lets make this a CHRISTMAS TRADITION.

We can never take a good picture. This was as good as it got. LOL!
