Merry

He said, "Mom, trees(cheese)", ran over and grabbed a santa hat to put on and stood in front of the tree ready for a picture. How could I help but post this?

We went to the Huish house in Poway where they do a Santa's Village every year that is over the top. They use all of their old Golfland castles and houses and create the North Pole with Santa, a sleigh, cookies, milk, hot cocoa and the kids even get a toy! C loved Santa, I was very surprised by that. This was when I was about 16 weeks pregnant. First thing that happens to me is what I call "mask face" because my face retains water and I don't even look like myself. Puffed lips, nose and jawline. You won't see many pics of me until this baby pops out!

Midway

We went to Midway for Dan's family reunion this year. It was so amazing. I never appreciated this little town when I lived in UT, but as an adult I was in heaven. Small town, trees and land everywhere and little rolling green hills surrounded by Mountains. All of these pictures are from the farm that Dan's dad grew up on. It's still a dairy farm and they have their own little shop in town where you can buy cheese, ice cream, treats and even raw unpasteurized milk. He really enjoys giving a tour of the property when we are there. He has everyone drink the raw milk, the running spring water and talks about old times. There are lots of farm toys and rides. Even the rockets were built on the farm. They used to cart them to Swiss Days and back every year back in the day.
