Iowa

Evie and I celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas with my family when we were home and it was super festive. 

She's at the age where Christmas is everything. She got to visit the  Christmas tree farm. She went ice skating. She painted an ornament (which is now my favorite) and made a gingerbread house. Last year she cried when she met Santa, but not this year! She was full of smiles and questions. She asked for a baby and a doll house😊 

We loved all the family time. Evie woke up every morning asking for Mira, Elena, and/or Olivia. See her run and play with her cousins was heart-warming. She was definitely in her element. 

We were home for my dad's birthday so we got the celebrate with him and we really lucked out with the weather! We went for a walk, had a nice lunch, then spent the afternoon at Snus Hill Winery. We drank several bottles of their Ditchweed Red and everyone bought bottles to take home. It was delicious! We ended the night at Provisions for dinner. 

 Look at that smile

 Evie likes horses from afar, but she's always timid up close
