After watching all those TV commercials on unusual Christmas rituals, we decided to start our own.
We co-hearsed our neighbors Ani & Rick and Little Tuki to go on this adventure.
We loaded up at high noon and headed for the mountains.
Leavenworth here we come….we are going to join Icicle Outfitters at their sleigh ride location.

First we took turns driving a team of Belgiums: Claude & Clyde pulling a sleigh. We are looking at adding Claude & Clyde to our “family” for  hay wagon rides and our wine rides this summer.

Between the Gee and the Haw and the Whoa…and the Step Up..we got the jargan down.  What a Feeling it is to handle these massive beautiful creatures with just 2 pieces of leather in your hands.

After our fun in the snow we joined the Icicle Outfitters Crew for Christmas Dinner in a heated wall tent. A first for all of us!

Thank you again..Aaron, Bruce, Sandy& Wendal for making our Christmas Day an event we will always remember.
