This year was our first time to participate in an Alexandria tradition, Christmas at the Fort. The Friday after Thanksgiving the town hosts a Christmas celebration with popcorn, cider, reindeers, carolers and Santa. (And it's all FREE. I heart small towns!)
The big girls (Grandma Nan, Auntie Brooke & me) had some nice girl time downtown, then the dads met us at the fort with the little girls, Alleyne & Quinn. (Grandpa Gary stayed home with sleepy Zoe.) We were fortunate that the weather was very mild for Minnesota in November and we had a great time!
It was hard to eat popcorn with mittens on, so luckily Grandma Nan obliged Quinn with lots of "bites."
Quinn got to pet real reindeer!
And we saw horses too. (We're getting pretty excited for another visit to Calla's barn!)
Hugs for Grandma!
Quinn wasn't too sure about Santa Claus...
but at least there weren't any tears!
Great pictures! Looks like a lot of fun for everyone!
ReplyDeleteAwe great pics! And ps from what I see of your purse I like it. Where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys had a great time! Annabel went to see Santa this weekend too--but there were lots of tears so I had to sit on Santa's lap with her!
ReplyDeleteAlso---Quinn and Annabel have the same puffer jacket! Those girls--so stylish:)
I am loving her coat and am obsessed with that HAT!!
