Annual Family Sleigh Ride & Trinity's 1st Birthday Party

Sunday, December 27, 2009, we all drove up to Fredenberg, MN for our Annual Family Sleigh Ride. The ride up was a bit rough as the roads were ice covered and bumpy...definitely a stressful ride for my little car. The weather was perfect though. With all the fresh snow and the snow that was lightly falling that day...it was just a perfect day for a sleigh ride. During the ride they stop about half way to give the horses a rest and the kids...both big and small jumped off to make snow angels!! When we were done we headed into the warming shack and had some hot cocoa. Afterwards, we made the trek back to my dad's house and had a birthday party for Trinity's 1st birthday. Joy made her famous chicken wild rice soup with corn muffins and all kinds of other food and then we had birthday cake for Trinity. Before we brought out the birthday cake, Lexi played the piano as we all sang Happy Birthday!!! Such a special treat to have had her learn how to play that just for Trinity!!! A fun time was had by all as you will see in the following pictures!!!
