It's a neat old town with lots of beautiful old homes will tall trees all around in the more immediate "downtown" area. It's not really a downtown though.. it only has one or two buildings that are not homes, situated along the railroad tracks. Further out of the downtown are newer groups of housing that sit on what used to be farmland. There are still farms all around and still some larger ranch homes with lots of horses. It's a nice town to travel to during Christmastime. It's quaint and well decorated.
Again, unedited photos.
Olive enjoyed exploring some of the rooms in the large house. She particularly enjoyed these doors just off of the kitchen:
I think these are the cabbage peirogies:
These are cheese, and aunt Bonny is excited about them:
I thought this was amusing, so I took another photo:
Olive really liked their tree
She showed aunt Bonny her favorite ornaments:
Olive really likes to show everyone her gifts:
My aunt Bonny made Olive a little scarf:
And she bought her a little apron:
And she made her tiny bracelets and put them in a small jewelry box:
Olive calls the ballerina a guy.
Olive now calls this her "Miss Paydo Head":
What could this be?!
Another ukelele!!
Olive was just as excited as last time.. if not more. And she showed everyone:
Dinner was late because my cousin Amara had to work. So we did gifts after dinner and then desert after gifts. Olive ended up being out WAY past her bedtime. But when we got back to my dad's house we still had more to do.. we had more gifts to open!
A tired yet excited Olive.
Oooo raisins.
Cheese?
Delivering gifts to her grandpa:
She's trying to find him:
But I guess she gave up and came back:
My favorite photo of our whole holiday:
She's incredibly excited about this box:
Cooking utensils for her kitchen!!!
She seemed confused:
Tyler opened this wooden plank for cooking fish. We used it a couple of nights ago and our salmon was sooooooo good. :)
This wasn't a surprise:
And then it was time for bed.
