The Friday after Thanksgiving, we spent the evening with Tiff and Brendan by watching The Muppet Christmas Carol. After which caused Tiff to want us three (mom, Rich, and i) to open the Christmas gifts she got for us. We put up little protest. ^_^

Fun at the Farm!

when tiff and brendan came in this weekend, we took them to Circle S Farm, along with kari and judah. we went to the petting zoo, the hay maze and barn, and went on a hayride through the pumpkin patch. judah got to pick out his own pumpkin.

going through the pumpkin patch

judah and his "perfect pumpkin." (that's what he said) kari paid three dollars for him to be able to pick out a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch, she was slightly disappointed he wanted a small one. when we got back to the farm, we looked at the pumpkins they were selling. they had pretty little pumpkins like the one judah got (but much nicer) for sale at a $1.50. we all got a laugh out of that. ^_^
